Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme or parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper, then sear on all sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
  2. Remove pork from skillet and set aside. Lower heat to medium, add minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  3. Stir in Dijon mustard; pour in chicken broth gradually while stirring.
  4. Slowly add heavy cream until well combined and smooth.
  5. Return seared pork to the skillet, spoon sauce over it, and transfer to the oven. Roast for about 20-25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  6. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into medallions. Serve drizzled with sauce and garnished with fresh herbs.
