Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 1 pound each) Pork tenderloin
• 100 grams Stilton cheese
• 150 milliliters Port wine
• 100 milliliters Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 small Shallots
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloins and season them all over with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Finely chop the garlic and shallots. In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the garlic, shallots, and thyme, and sauté until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the port wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Let the wine reduce by half, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and crumble the Stilton cheese into the sauce. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Roast the pork in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part of the meat.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven, transfer the pork tenderloins to a cutting board, and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Slice the pork tenderloins into medallions and serve with the Stilton and port sauce drizzled over the top. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves for an elegant touch.
