Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin (approx. weight) cut into 1-inch pieces
- black pepper freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon salt or other seasoning salt, Jane’s Crazy Mixed-Up Salt (brand
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons grainy mustard Grey Poupon Country Mustard preferred
- ½ cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Use paper towels to pat the pork tenderloin dry. Remove any silver skin if present. Cut the tenderloin crosswise into approximately 1-inch thick pieces. Flatten each piece slightly by pressing down with your fingers (don't use a meat mallet as the tenderloin is too delicate for that treatment!). Lightly sprinkle each side of the tenderloin pieces with pepper and seasoning salt.
- Melt the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tenderloin and cook for approximately 5 minutes or until golden brown. Turn and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes or until the tenderloin is cooked through. Remove to a plate and set aside.
- To the skillet add the mustard and stir well. Add ¼ cup chicken broth, stirring well. If needed, add up to an additional ¼ cup of chicken broth. Cook until sauce has thickened slightly.
- Add tenderloin back to the pan, stirring to coat with sauce.
- Serve tenderloin and sauce immediately.

Notes
- Completely cool the leftovers and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave. Add a splash of chicken broth if the sauce needs thinning.
- May also be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat as stated before serving.
