Switching up my typical weeknight dinner of chicken for some delicious, tender, creamy pork tenderloin medallions. Bonus – You can make this meal for less than $20.

I get in the habit of just switching from chicken and ground beef for meals, and some days I just get burnt out on it. And while I know pork may not be everyone’s jam, I like it, my family eats it, so it’s a pop-up meat in my household.

This savory recipe is just too good not to share. So simple to make, all you need is pork, flour, garlic, Dijon mustard, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and heavy cream. For a dish that is so budget-friendly, it plates so elegantly. The pork tenderloin cooks fast and packs on so much flavor.

Step by Step:

• Cut tenderloin into 1 to 1 1/2 inch slices and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a skillet and then dredge each piece of tenderloin in flour.
• Once the skillet is hot, add pork and sear on both sides until lightly golden brown (about 3-4 minutes). Once all pieces are cooked, remove and set aside.
• Stir in garlic and Dijon mustard, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning. Scraping up the bits and letting the sauce cook for a minute.
• Slowly stir in heavy cream and bring to a boil. Let the sauce thicken for about 2 minutes and then add the tenderloin pieces back into the skillet.
• Reduce heat and cook for the remaining 5 minutes.
