Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 2 small Shallots, minced
• 8 leaves Fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Marsala wine
• 0.75 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Trim any silver skin from the pork tenderloin, then season it on all sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 4

Transfer the skillet with the pork tenderloin to the preheated oven. Roast for 12-15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the oven, transfer to a cutting board, and let rest for 10 minutes.

Step 5

While the pork is resting, prepare the sauce. In the same skillet (carefully remove excess oil if needed), melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the minced shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped sage leaves and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Deglaze the pan with the Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

Step 9

Pour in the chicken broth and continue to simmer for another 3-4 minutes to further reduce the sauce.

Step 10

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Slice the rested pork tenderloin into medallions and place on a serving platter. Spoon the sage Marsala sauce over the pork.

Step 12

Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
