Trim the pork tenderloin of any silver skin, then cut it crosswise into 1-inch thick medallions.
Season the pork medallions with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pork medallions to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Finely mince the shallot and garlic. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet, followed by the shallots. Cook for 1-2 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Pour in the chicken broth, and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Allow the sauce to simmer and reduce slightly for 3-4 minutes.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened, then add the lemon juice.
Return the cooked pork medallions to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Warm for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve immediately with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetable side dish.
