Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the tenderloin for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the pork cooks, prepare the mushroom sauce. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden brown.
Add the minced shallot and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet with the dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for 2 minutes until the wine reduces slightly.
Stir in the chicken or vegetable stock, heavy cream, and fresh thyme leaves. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Slice the rested pork tenderloin into medallions and serve with the mushroom sauce spooned over the top.
