Ingredients

• 1 piece (about 1 pound) Pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 piece (finely minced) Shallot
• 2 pieces (minced) Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon (chopped) Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and rub it evenly with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 8 minutes total.

Step 4

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) on a meat thermometer.

Step 5

Remove the pork from the skillet and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the herb sauce.

Step 6

In the same skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced shallot and garlic, cooking until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream, chopped parsley, thyme, and lemon juice. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 9

Slice the rested pork tenderloin into medallions and arrange them on a serving plate.

Step 10

Spoon the herb sauce over the pork slices and serve immediately. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
