Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin. Slice the tenderloin into 1-inch thick medallions.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each pork medallion in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Place the pork medallions in the skillet in a single layer. Sear them for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown. Remove the medallions from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium, and pour the chicken broth into the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, whisking until the sauce is smooth and begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Return the pork medallions to the skillet, making sure they are coated in the sauce. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the pork medallions before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
