This easy pork tenderloin recipe was good the way it was originally written, but I decided to simplify it even more, and it came out great. The photos weren’t exactly my best (ok, they were some of my worst), and I am pretty sure others agreed, because the traffic to this post was next-to-none.
It’s a shame because the recipe was much better than the photos indicated. 😛 I am hoping that these new photos give this recipe justice!

- 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
Instructions
- Cut pork into medallions. Sprinkle them with salt & pepper and the garlic powder on both sides and dredge in flour.

- Add the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and Italian seasoning to the pan. Let it bubble for 2 minutes.
- Add in the cream and put the pork back in the pan.
- Reduce heat to medium and let the sauce simmer for another 5 minutes or until it thickens up a bit and the pork is fully cooked. Season with extra salt & pepper if needed.

Good recipe! I wanted something new to do with Pork tenderloin tonight and was not disappointed. Substitutions I had to make: half and half for the cream–worked out fine. Used about 1/2 tsp. oregano due to finicky eater in my home, used Baby Bella mushrooms because I didn’t have the portabella. Turned out great and since we like gravy so much in our house, the saucier sauce was good for us. I served with Basmati rice and leafy green salad with vinaigrette (sweetened) and it was a great meal! Looking forward to the leftovers. Looking forward to trying more of your recipes:)!!
Natasha says
So glad you enjoyed it, Suzanne! And I’m glad the substitution worked.
