Ingredients

• 1 piece (about 1 lb) Pork tenderloin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin and slice it into 1-inch thick medallions.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Step 4

Add the pork medallions to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove medallions from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Reduce heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan using a wooden spoon.

Step 7

Stir in the chicken broth and add the fresh thyme sprigs. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Return the pork medallions to the skillet, spoon some of the sauce over them, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reads 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove the pork medallions from the skillet and tent loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.

Step 10

Reduce the sauce further over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove the thyme sprigs and stir in the heavy cream.

Step 11

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 12

Return the pork medallions to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them to coat.

Step 13

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately, pairing with your favorite starch or vegetables.
