For the Pork

For the Sauce

  • 2 cloves garlic minced, infuses the dish with aromatic flavor.
  • 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard creates the tangy character of the mustard cream sauce.
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth deglazes the pan and adds moisture to the sauce.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the pork tenderloin with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  3. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside.
  4. Lower the heat and add unsalted butter along with minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  5. Stir in the Dijon mustard and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze, about 2 minutes.
  6. Add heavy cream and chopped thyme, simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
  7. Return the seared pork to the skillet and cook until its internal temperature reaches 145°F, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Rest the pork for a few minutes, then slice it and serve with the creamy sauce.
