Ingredients
1 (1 lb) pork tenderloin, trimmed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 shallot, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp whole-grain mustard
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp dried)
Instructions
Pat the pork tenderloin dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and shallot; cook until softened, about 1 minute.
Pour in white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, and thyme. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Return the pork to the skillet, along with any juices. Cook, turning occasionally, until the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) internal temperature, about 8-10 minutes.
Remove pork and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the sauce spooned over the top.
Tips
Slice the pork against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
Pair with roasted potatoes or a simple green salad.
