Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat)
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Trim and remove any silver skin from the pork tenderloin. Cut it into 1-inch thick medallions.
Season the pork medallions with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork medallions in a single layer and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Remove the medallions and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Stir in sliced cremini mushrooms and minced garlic, cooking until the mushrooms are golden and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together coconut milk, chicken broth, and arrowroot powder until smooth.
Pour the coconut milk mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir continuously and bring to a simmer, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Return the pork medallions to the skillet, spooning the creamy mushroom sauce over the pork. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes or until the pork is cooked through.
Stir in the fresh thyme and parsley, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the pork medallions hot with a generous topping of creamy mushroom sauce. Pair with your favorite Whole30 sides, like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
