Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 1 lb each) pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium (finely minced) shallot
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 ounces (crumbled) Gorgonzola cheese
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork tenderloins dry with paper towels. Rub them all over with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Step 3

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork tenderloins for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned all over.

Step 4

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the oven, cover with foil, and let rest for 5-10 minutes.

Step 5

While the pork rests, prepare the Gorgonzola sauce. In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the minced shallot to the saucepan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese until melted and smooth. Taste the sauce and add a pinch of salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Slice the rested pork tenderloin into medallions and arrange them on a platter or individual plates.

Step 9

Spoon the warm Gorgonzola sauce over the slices of pork, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad.
