Ingredients

• 500 grams pork tenderloin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 small shallots, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 120 milliliters white wine
• 150 milliliters heavy cream
• 100 grams Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Trim the pork tenderloin of any silver skin or excess fat and cut it into 2.5 cm (1-inch) thick medallions.

Step 2

Season the pork medallions evenly with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, sear the pork medallions for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the medallions from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Allow it to melt, then add the chopped shallots. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 6

Pour the white wine into the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow the wine to reduce by half, which will take about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese to the skillet and stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. This should take 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Return the pork medallions to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 6-8 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 63°C or 145°F).

Step 10

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the dish and serve immediately. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a light green salad for a complete meal.
