Create a wonderfully tender pork tenderloin bathed in a rich, creamy garlic sauce. This recipe brings a comforting, memorable flavor right to your dinner table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the pork tenderloin generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the pork on all sides until nicely browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet.
  6. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Do not let it burn.
  7. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let this simmer for 1 minute.
  8. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian herbs. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  9. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly. This is when you watch the sauce reduce and become creamy.
  10. Return the pork tenderloin to the skillet.
  11. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, about 10-15 minutes, depending on thickness.
  12. Slice the pork and spoon the creamy garlic sauce over the top before serving.

Notes

  • For the best sauce reduction, keep the heat at a gentle simmer after adding the cream.
  • You can check the pork temperature sooner if your tenderloin is very thin.
  • If the sauce seems too thick after cooking, add a splash more broth or cream to reach your desired consistency.
