Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin, fat trimmed, silverskin removed and cut into approximately 1/2-3/4 inch slices
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 12 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 leek, white and light green parts thinly sliced and thoroughly rinsed to remove dirt
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 3/4 cup milk, I used 1% milk
• 1 ounce 1/3 less fat cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, room temperature

Directions

• Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat.
• Season the slices of pork tenderloin with salt and pepper on both sides.
• When the skillet is hot spray with oil or cooking spray then place the pork in the skillet cut side down in a single layer.
• Cook the pork for approximately 2-3 minutes per side then remove from the skillet onto a plate and cover with foil to keep it warm.
• Add the tablespoon of oil to the skillet and lower the heat to medium.
• Swirl the oil around the bottom of the skillet to coat it then add in the mushroom, leek and garlic.
• Sauté for a minute then add in the thyme leaves and season with salt and pepper.
• Sauté another 2-3 minutes or until the leek and mushrooms soften then sprinkle in the flour.
• Stir everything until the flour dissolves.
• Slowly pour in the milk stirring the entire time.
• Once the sauce thickens, approximately 2-3 minutes, add in the cream cheese and stir until it melts and is thoroughly incorporated.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt until incorporated.
• Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper if needed.
• Add the pork back into the skillet and serve immediately.
