Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces pork tenderloins
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloins and season them with salt and black pepper on all sides.
In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the tenderloins from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add unsalted butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, mixing until well combined. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
Return the seared pork tenderloins to the skillet with the sauce. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Slice the pork tenderloins into medallions and serve with the creamy sauce. Pair with boiled potatoes or steamed vegetables for a traditional Danish meal.
