Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Slice each pork tenderloin into 1-inch thick medallions. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork medallions to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add the cremini mushrooms and sauté until they are browned, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic cloves to the mushrooms and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the fresh thyme and add the pork medallions back into the skillet, coating them with the sauce. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to reheat the pork and meld the flavors.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly meal!
