Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Pork tenderloin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Shallot
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim any silver skin or excess fat from the pork tenderloin, then pat it dry with paper towels.
Season the pork tenderloin generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned all over, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Roast the pork in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork from the skillet, tent it with foil, and allow it to rest.
Meanwhile, finely mince the shallot.
In the same skillet, over medium heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Sauté the minced shallot for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
Deglaze the pan by pouring in the chicken broth, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Let it reduce for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, heavy cream, and fresh thyme leaves. Simmer the sauce for an additional 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Slice the rested pork tenderloin into medallions and arrange them on a serving platter.
Pour the Dijon sauce over the sliced pork tenderloin, garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
