Creamy Dijon Pork Tenderloin Medallions: A delightful, flavorful dish that combines tender pork with a rich, creamy sauce for a delicious dinner!
Ingredients:
- 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 lb)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (divided)
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
- 3/4 cup heavy cream (35%)
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon hot horseradish (optional)
- 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon butter
Directions:
1. Begin by cutting the pork tenderloin into 8 rounds, aiming for pieces that are about 1 inch thick. Then, using a meat mallet, gently pound each piece until they’re about 1/4 inch thick.
2. In a large bowl, combine the pork, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, dried oregano, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and pepper to taste. Toss everything together until the pork is well coated, and let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
3. While that’s marinating, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork medallions and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F. If your skillet isn’t big enough, you might need to do this in batches. Once cooked, remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside on a plate, covering it to keep it warm.
4. In the same skillet, combine the heavy cream, chicken broth, the second tablespoon of Dijon mustard, horseradish (if you’re using it), tarragon, and garlic powder. Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the sauce thickens, about 10-12 minutes.
5. Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove it from heat and whisk in the butter until it’s fully melted and combined. Finally, return the pork medallions to the skillet, allowing them to soak in that luscious sauce for a moment before serving.
