Ingredients

• 1 piece (about 1 pound) Pork tenderloin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Shallots, finely minced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 half cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Trim the pork tenderloin of silver skin and any excess fat. Slice into 1-inch thick medallions and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing the butter to melt and start to foam.

Step 3

Place the pork medallions in the skillet in a single layer without crowding. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F). Remove the medallions from the skillet and set aside on a plate, tenting with foil to keep warm.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet by adding the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Let the broth simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

Step 7

Add the chopped chives to the sauce and stir well. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed with additional salt and pepper.

Step 8

Return the pork medallions to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Heat for 1-2 minutes until the pork is warmed through.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with extra chives if desired.
