- 1 tbsp olive oil (15ml)
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (15g)
- 1 tsp kosher salt (6g)

- 0.5 cup heavy cream (120ml)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (8g, finely chopped)

Instructions
- Start by removing the silverskin from the pork tenderloin if it hasn’t been done already.
- Season the pork with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the pork tenderloin to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
- Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the skillet and baste the pork.
- Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and roast for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Add the chopped shallot and minced garlic to the same skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the dry white wine to deglaze the skillet and simmer for about 2-3 minutes until reduced by half.
- Add the low-sodium chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and whole grain mustard, stirring to combine.
- Let the mixture simmer for another 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Pour in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 5 minutes until creamy.
- Slice the rested pork into medallions and arrange on a platter.
- Spoon the sauce over the pork medallions and garnish with parsley and thyme.
Notes
Make sure to remove the silverskin to avoid toughness. Allow the pork to rest after cooking for juiciness.
