** Delicious Pork Tenderloin in Mushroom Sauce **
Hello friends! Looking for a comforting and flavorful meal that’s easy on the joints and the palate? This recipe is perfect for a cozy evening in. Let’s make a delightful Pork Tenderloin in Mushroom Sauce!
**Ingredients:**
• 1 lb boneless pork tenderloin
• * 1 tbsp olive oil
• * 1 onion, chopped
• * 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
• * 2 cloves garlic, minced
• * 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
• * 1/2 cup heavy cream
• * 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp dried)
• * Salt and pepper to taste
• * Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. **Prep the Tenderloin:** Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
2. 2. **Sear the Pork:** Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until lightly browned (about 2-3 minutes per side). This step seals in the juices!
3. 3. **Sauté the Vegetables:** Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened (about 5 minutes). Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, and cook until the mushrooms are tender (about 5-7 minutes).
4. 4. **Create the Sauce:** Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce.
5. 5. **Combine and Simmer:** Return the pork tenderloin to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, pour in the heavy cream, and cover the skillet. Simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy!
6. 6. **Serve:** Remove the pork tenderloin from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Spoon the mushroom sauce over the sliced pork and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with your favorite side dish, like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
