Easy Skillet Dinner with Pork Tenderloin
This recipe features succulent pork tenderloin cooked in a skillet until golden brown, then smothered in a creamy parmesan sauce infused with garlic and herbs. The dish takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pork: Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Sear the Pork: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork tenderloin and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the parmesan cheese, thyme, and rosemary, mixing until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Combine: Return the seared pork tenderloin to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it. Cover and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Serve: Slice the pork tenderloin and serve it with the creamy sauce drizzled on top. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
