Ingredients

• 1 lbs pork tenderloin
• 8 oz button or cremini mushrooms
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 0.5 cups dry white wine
• 1 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 0.25 cups heavy cream
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 tbsp flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess silver skin or fat from the pork tenderloin and season it evenly with salt and pepper on all sides.

Step 2

Slice the mushrooms into thick pieces and finely chop the onion and garlic.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter to the skillet. Once the butter is melted, sauté the onions for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the garlic and mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced slightly.

Step 8

Stir in the chicken or vegetable broth and add the thyme sprigs. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 9

Return the pork tenderloin to the skillet, nestling it into the mushroom sauce. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it braise for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 10

Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Stir the heavy cream into the mushroom sauce and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs and season the sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 12

Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve with the creamy mushroom sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
