Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 1 lb each) Pork tenderloin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large (diced) Yellow onion
• 4 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 8 ounces (sliced) Cremini mushrooms
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) Fresh thyme

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork tenderloins evenly with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each pork tenderloin on all sides until browned (about 2-3 minutes per side). Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Cook for about 3 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 5

Pour the chicken broth into the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce, then remove the skillet from heat.

Step 7

Place the seared pork tenderloins into a slow cooker. Pour the mushroom and cream mixture over the pork.

Step 8

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the pork is tender and cooked through (145°F internal temperature).

Step 9

About 15 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.

Step 10

Once the sauce is thickened, slice the pork tenderloins and serve with the creamy mushroom gravy spooned over the top. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired.
