Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1 cm wide. Season with salt and black pepper, then set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork strips and sear until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to the skillet. Dice the onion and mince the garlic, then add them to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Slice the mushrooms and add them to the skillet. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are softened and slightly browned.
Pour in the coconut cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Add the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and fresh thyme. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Return the pork strips to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the sauce. Lower the heat to medium and let the mixture cook for another 5-7 minutes until the pork is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to your liking.
Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the dish before serving.
Serve the Paleo Schweinsgeschnetzeltes warm, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
