Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Herbes de Provence
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup chicken stock
• 0.25 cup dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Trim the pork tenderloin of any silver skin, then slice it into 1-inch thick medallions.

Step 2

Season the medallions with salt, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Herbes de Provence on both sides.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork medallions in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the medallions from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, sprinkle in the remaining Herbes de Provence and stir for 30 seconds to release the aromatics.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken stock and dry white wine. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan, loosening any browned bits. Let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until it reduces by half.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for an additional 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Return the pork medallions to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for 2-3 minutes, just to warm through and allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Transfer the medallions to a serving platter, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with the pan sauce drizzled on top.
