For the Pork

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Pat the pork tenderloin dry, then rub salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard all over it.
  3. In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil and sear the pork tenderloin for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  5. Remove the pork, set it aside, and in the same skillet, sauté minced garlic, deglaze with chicken broth, and stir in heavy cream.
  6. Slice the pork tenderloin and drizzle creamy Dijon sauce over the top before serving.
