Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Mustard Sauce
Recipe video above. This is one of those recipe gems that proves just few ingredients and minimal effort can still deliver a knock-out dish!It's easy enough for a weeknight meal, but can step up as a dish elegant enough for company. A pinch of fresh tarragon adds a lovely sweet aniseed flavour, while mustard brings the oomph and thickens the sauce.Note: The cook time is affected by the size of the pork fillet so a meat thermometer is highly recommended to ensure the pork is cooked perfectly.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 200°C / 390°F (180°C fan). Place a rack over a tray (for resting the cooked meat).
2
Season pork: Sprinkle the tenderloins all over with salt and pepper.
salt1 tsptsp salt1/2pepper1 tsptsp pepper1/2
3
Sear pork: Heat oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork all over until golden. This takes around ⏱️ 5 minutes (I sear 4 sides).
oil (vegetable, canola, or olive oil)2 tbsp
4
Bake (Note 5): Transfer the skillet with the pork in it to the oven. Bake for ⏱️ 12 - 15 minutes or until an instant read thermometer reads 65°C / 149°F. This will have a blush of pink, a perfect medium for optimum juiciness. (For no pink at all, add ⏱️ 3 minutes cooking and target an internal temperature of 68°C / 155°F.)
5
Rest: Remove pork from skillet and transfer to the resting rack for ⏱️ 5 minutes.
6
Creamy Mustard Sauce: Return same skillet to the stove over medium heat. Add cream and both mustards. Mix well, scraping the bottom of the pan to dissolve any golden bits stuck to the base of the pan into the sauce (free flavour!). Once it becomes hot but not simmering, stir in salt, pepper, tarragon and parsley. If the sauce seems too thick, thin with a little water as needed. No need to simmer, the sauce is done!
