Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 2 Shallots, minced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup White wine
• 0.75 cup Chicken stock
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cups Spaetzle (homemade or store-bought)
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves, chopped
• 2 tbsp Fresh chives, chopped
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin, then slice it into 1-inch-thick medallions. Season the medallions with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is shimmering, sear the pork medallions for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the medallions from the skillet and set aside, keeping them warm.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced shallots and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the chicken stock and heavy cream, letting the mixture simmer for 5-6 minutes until thickened slightly. Season the sauce with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

In a separate skillet, heat the spaetzle over medium heat until warmed through. Toss with parsley, thyme, chives, and Parmesan cheese, stirring until evenly coated.

Step 7

To serve, plate the herbed spaetzle and top with the pork medallions. Spoon the sauce over the pork and garnish with extra herbs if desired. Enjoy your flavorful creation!
