Ingredients
4 boneless pork loin steaks (about 6 oz each)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp dried)
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
Season pork steaks on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork steaks and cook 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 145°F. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes.
Stir in heavy cream, thyme, and Dijon mustard. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Return pork steaks to the skillet, turning to coat with sauce. Cook 1 minute to reheat. Serve steaks with mushroom sauce spooned over the top.
Tips
For a thicker sauce, mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 1 tbsp water and stir into the sauce before adding cream.
Serve with mashed potatoes or egg noodles to soak up the sauce.
Leftover pork and sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
