Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (about 1 to 1.5 lbs) pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups cremini or button mushrooms
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels, then season it on all sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the tenderloin from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and saute for 5-7 minutes until they release their liquid and begin to brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour over the mushrooms and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken.
Stir in the heavy cream and optional fresh thyme. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Return the pork tenderloin to the skillet, spooning some of the mushroom sauce over it.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm with the mushroom sauce over the pork slices.
