Ingredients

Scale

1 lb pork tenderloin
8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
1 cup heavy cream
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper, then sear on all sides until golden brown (about 5–7 minutes). Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add onions and garlic; sauté until fragrant and onions are translucent (about 3–4 minutes).
Add sliced mushrooms; cook until they shrink and release juices (about 5–7 minutes).
Pour in chicken broth, scraping up brown bits from the pan. Bring to a simmer before stirring in heavy cream.
Return the pork to the skillet along with thyme; let simmer for about 10 minutes until cooked through.
Slice the pork into medallions and serve topped with mushroom sauce.
