Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, sliced into medallions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button mushrooms work well)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Pork: Season the pork medallions with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Sear the Medallions: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork medallions and cook until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Mushrooms and Onions: In the same skillet, add the onions and mushrooms. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Make the Gravy: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and thyme. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Combine: Return the pork medallions to the skillet and let them simmer in the gravy for another 5 minutes, ensuring they are heated through and coated in the sauce.
- Serve: Plate the pork medallions and spoon the mushroom gravy over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with rice or mashed potatoes.
