Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the pork tenderloin into 1-inch thick medallions, then gently pound them to even out the thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
Cooking the Pork
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork medallions for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
Making the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder. Stir until well combined and let simmer for 3-5 minutes.
  2. If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of water or broth.
Combining
  1. Return the pork medallions to the skillet and coat them in the sauce. Let simmer for an additional minute.
Serving
  1. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For maximum flavor, take your time searing the pork. Experiment with different types of mustard for variety. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
