Step-by-Step Instructions
- Pat the pork tenderloins dry with paper towels and let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Season the pork tenderloins with salt and black pepper on all sides.
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the pork for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove the pork and set aside, then add the chopped shallots to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up browned bits and reducing by half (3-5 minutes).
- Whisk in the Dijon mustard and chicken broth, simmering on low heat for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme, heating through for another 2-3 minutes.
- Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Return the pork tenderloins to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top, and let simmer for 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and bake for 10-15 minutes until pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from the oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Stir in the unsalted butter into the sauce, and remove any thyme sprigs if used fresh.
- Slice the pork and plate it, spooning sauce over top and garnishing with parsley.
