Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season generously with kosher salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 4

Transfer the skillet with the pork tenderloin to the preheated oven. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest on a clean cutting board, loosely covered with foil.

Step 5

While the pork rests, prepare the garlic mustard sauce. Finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 6

Using the same skillet, place it over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 7

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.

Step 8

Stir in the Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, and heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 9

Finish the sauce by whisking in the unsalted butter. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve drizzled with the garlic mustard sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
