Ingredients

• 1 lb pork tenderloin
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 shallots, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp whole-grain mustard
• 1 tsp fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season both sides of the pork medallions with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

When the oil is hot, sear the pork medallions for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and whole-grain mustard. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 9

Return the pork medallions to the skillet, along with any juices that have accumulated on the plate. Spoon the sauce over the pork and let it warm through for 2 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
