Scale
Before we dive into the cooking, let’s gather our ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet, sear the pork for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown, then remove from heat.
- Whisk together heavy cream, Dijon mustard, honey, thyme, and garlic in a bowl and pour over the seared pork.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Let the pork rest for 5 minutes, slice, drizzle with sauce, and serve.
Notes
- For best results, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
- Letting the pork rest before slicing ensures juiciness.
