Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 sprig Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the pork tenderloin with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub the spices evenly onto the meat.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet with the pork to the preheated oven. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork from the oven, transfer it to a plate, and tent it loosely with aluminum foil to rest.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a smooth roux.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking, ensuring no lumps form. Add Worcestershire sauce and continue whisking until the gravy thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Taste the gravy and adjust seasonings if necessary with salt and pepper.
Slice the rested pork tenderloin into medallions and serve with the gravy drizzled over the top.
Garnish with fresh thyme if desired, and enjoy!
