Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (about 1-1.5 lbs) pork tenderloin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 small (finely chopped) shallots
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 8 ounces (sliced) button mushrooms
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
Instructions
Trim any silver skin from the pork tenderloin and slice it into 1-inch-thick medallions.
Season the pork medallions on both sides with salt and black pepper.
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 the medallions from the skillet and set aside. They do not need to be fully cooked at this stage.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter. Reduce the heat to medium.
Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and brown slightly.
Deglaze the pan with the dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
Stir in the heavy cream and return the pork medallions to the skillet. Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly and the pork is cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the pork medallions with mushroom sauce hot, alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetables.
