Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 8 oz Cremini mushrooms
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Marsala wine
- 0.75 cup Chicken broth
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Trim the pork tenderloin of any silver skin, and slice it into 1-inch-thick medallions.
Season both sides of the pork medallions with salt and ground black pepper.
Place the all-purpose flour on a shallow plate and lightly dredge each pork medallion, shaking off any excess.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork medallions for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they release their juices and begin to brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour the Marsala wine into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir in the heavy cream and return the pork medallions to the skillet, ensuring they are coated with the sauce. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the pork is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy with mashed potatoes, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
