PORK TENDERLOIN FORESTIÈRE
Ingredients
- 2 pork tenderloins (1 lb each)
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 2 tbsp finely chopped shallot
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1/2 tsp tarragon, crumbled
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick foil.
- Cut pork into 1 1/2 inch thick medallions. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tbsp butter with 1 tbsp oil in a large nonstick frypan over medium heat. Add pork in batches and brown on both sides, adding remaining butter and oil as necessary. Transfer pork to prepared pan.
- Bake, uncovered, until a meat thermometer registers 160ºF, about 18 minutes. Meanwhile, to prepare sauce, set same frypan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and shallot; cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add wine and cook, scraping to loosen browned bits, until wine is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Stir in cream, broth and tarragon. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened. Stir in lemon juice; keep warm.
- Remove pork from oven. Place pork and any accumulated juices in frypan. Cook, stirring, to coat pork with sauce.
