• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound pork tenderloin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt & pepper (to taste)

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon flour

4 cloves garlic (minced)

1/2 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)

1 cup heavy/whipping cream

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes (see note)

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

1 small handful fresh basil (chopped/torn)

Directions

Trim excess fat and silver skin off the pork tenderloin and then cut into 1" thick rounds. Season with the garlic powder and salt & pepper.

Add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is nice and hot, add the pork and cook for about 3-4 minutes/side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and lightly tent with foil to keep it warm.

Reduce the heat to medium, and add the flour and garlic to the skillet. Let it cook for about a minute or so, stirring often.

Pour in the wine and whisk it until the flour has dissolved. Let it bubble until the liquid has reduced by half.

Stir in the cream, tomato paste, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes. Simmer for a few minutes until it's thickened to your preferred consistency.

Turn the burner off and then stir in the parmesan and basil.

Add the pork back to the skillet (and any juices from the plate) and spoon some sauce over top. Season with extra salt & pepper as needed and enjoy immediately.
