Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1 small Shallot, minced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Marsala wine
• 0.5 cup Chicken stock
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp Thyme leaves, fresh
• 1 tbsp Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the pork tenderloin with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the pork tenderloin for about 2 minutes on each side until it is golden brown all around. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium.

Step 6

Sauté the minced shallot in the skillet for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Pour the Marsala wine into the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in the chicken stock, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and fresh thyme leaves. Mix well to combine the sauce.

Step 10

Return the pork tenderloin to the skillet, spoon some of the sauce over the meat, and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 11

Bake the pork tenderloin in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 12

Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the pork tenderloin to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing.

Step 13

Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter into the sauce in the skillet to give it a silky finish.

Step 14

Slice the pork tenderloin and serve it with the Dijon Marsala sauce drizzled over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
