Ingredients
1 lb pork tenderloin
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp thyme, fresh or dried
For the Dijon Sauce
2 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
Prepare the Pork Tenderloin
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rub the pork with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme.
Sear the Pork
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork on all sides until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).
Roast the Pork
Transfer the pork to a baking dish or leave it in the oven-safe skillet.
Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Make the Dijon Sauce
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
Stir in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits.
Mix in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve
Slice the pork tenderloin and drizzle the Dijon sauce on top.
Garnish with additional thyme if desired.
Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion!
