Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat)
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Trim and remove any silver skin from the pork tenderloin. Cut it into 1-inch thick medallions.

Step 2

Season the pork medallions with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork medallions in a single layer and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Remove the medallions and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Stir in sliced cremini mushrooms and minced garlic, cooking until the mushrooms are golden and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together coconut milk, chicken broth, and arrowroot powder until smooth.

Step 6

Pour the coconut milk mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir continuously and bring to a simmer, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Return the pork medallions to the skillet, spooning the creamy mushroom sauce over the pork. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes or until the pork is cooked through.

Step 8

Stir in the fresh thyme and parsley, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Serve the pork medallions hot with a generous topping of creamy mushroom sauce. Pair with your favorite Whole30 sides, like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
