Ingredients
  

Pork Tenderloin
  • 1 lb pork tenderloin trimmed of silver skin
  • 1 tsp salt to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for searing
Dijon Cream Sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream at room temperature
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard preferably whole grain
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 tbsp butter for sauce
  • 1 cup chicken broth low sodium

Method
 

Prepare the Pork Tenderloin
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the pork tenderloin with salt and black pepper.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  4. Sear the pork on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Make the Dijon Cream Sauce
  1. In the same skillet used for the pork, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Add chopped thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve
  1. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  2. Slice the pork tenderloin and serve with the Dijon cream sauce drizzled over the top.
