- 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and lightly grease a baking dish or use an oven-safe skillet.
- In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
- Pat the pork tenderloin dry, rub with olive oil, and coat evenly with the spice blend.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Pour chicken broth into the skillet and transfer to the oven; roast for 20-25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- In a small saucepan, whisk heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and honey over medium heat until warmed through (do not boil).
- Remove pork from oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Slice into medallions, drizzle with the cream sauce, garnish with parsley, and serve.
Notes
- Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork reaches exactly 145°F for the best texture.
- Resting the meat is essential to keep the juices from running out when sliced.
- If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the seared meat to a baking dish before adding broth and roasting.
