Cooking Instructions

Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Sear the pork for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
Remove the pork and pour in chicken broth, scraping the bottom to deglaze. Stir in Dijon mustard and heavy cream, simmering for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
Return the pork to the skillet, ensuring it’s coated in the sauce. Transfer to a preheated oven at 400°F and bake for 10-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Let the pork rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve with the creamy sauce and fresh herbs on top.
