Description

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1lb / 500g pork tenderloin (Note 1)
• 2 tbsp butter (salted or unsalted)
• 5oz / 150g mushrooms, sliced (I used Swiss Brown)
• ¼ cup finely chopped shallots or onion
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1½ tbsp flour
• ½ cup marsala (Note 2)
• 2 cups chicken broth, low sodium
• 5 tarragon leaves (optional) (thyme is also lovely) (Note 3)
• ¼ cup cream

Directions

• Preheat oven to 200C/390F.
• Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in an ovenproof skillet over high heat. Sear on all sides until nicely browned.
• Place in the oven for 15 minutes for the faintest blush of pink (pictured) or 18 to 20 minutes for no pink. See Note 4 for internal cook temperatures.
• Remove pork from skillet onto a plate, cover with foil and set aside in a warm place while you make the sauce.
• Melt 1 tbsp butter in the same skillet over high heat. Cook mushrooms until browned, then remove.
• Reduce heat to medium high, melt 1 tbsp butter,. Add onion and garlic, cook for 2 minutes or until onion is softened. Add flour and mix.
• Add marsala, cook until mostly evaporated (about 1 minute). Add tarragon and chicken broth, whisk until dissolved. Bring to simmer and cook until the liquid reduces by half - 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add cream and mix, then return the mushrooms and pork into the skillet as well as juices pooled on the plate. Simmer for 1 - 2 minutes until the sauce thickens into a thin gravy consistency (it will thicken more as you serve).
• Transfer to serving platter with the gravy on the side or poured over the top. Serve with mashed potatoes of course!! (Here is my Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes recipe)
