Description

Discover the ultimate recipe for Best-Ever Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Dijon Sauce — a tender, juicy pork dish topped with a rich, flavorful Dijon sauce perfect for family dinners or entertaining guests. This easy-to-make dish combines crispy seared pork with a velvety Dijon sauce, creating a gourmet experience in your own kitchen.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 to 1.5 pounds each)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or fresh thyme leaves
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the pork tenderloins generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloins until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  2. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in the same skillet over medium heat, add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Deglaze with white wine or chicken broth, scraping up browned bits. Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and thyme, simmering until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Slice the rested pork into medallions and serve with the creamy Dijon sauce spooned over the top, garnished with chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure precise doneness without overcooking.
  • Marinate the pork in a soy and herb marinade for extra flavor if desired.
  • Searing until golden gives the pork a crispy crust before roasting.
  • Experiment with herbs like rosemary or sage for different flavor profiles.
