Instructions
- Trim off excess fat and silver skin and slice the pork tenderloin into 1" thick rounds. Generously season them with salt & pepper and coat them in the flour.
- Add the olive oil and half the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the pork (you may need to do this in batches) and cook for about 3 minutes/side or until lightly golden. Transfer the pork to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium (or even med-low if using cast iron), and add the remaining butter to the pan. Let it melt and then add the garlic cloves. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the garlic is lightly browned on the outside.
- Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and garlic powder to the pan. Let it bubble for around 4 minutes or until the liquid is noticeably reduced.
- Stir in the cream and add the pork back into the pan. Let it cook until the sauce is reduced and the pork is cooked through (about 5 minutes). Sprinkle the parsley over top if using and season with extra salt & pepper as needed.
Notes
- If your garlic cloves are very large, cut them in half so they're all roughly the same size.
