Instructions
- Trim off excess fat and silver skin and slice the pork tenderloin into 1" thick rounds. Season with pepper and the garlic powder.
- Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes. Once the pan is hot, add the pork (do it in two batches if the pan will be crowded) and sear for approx. 3 minutes/side or until lightly golden. Transfer the pork to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the rest of the butter to the skillet, and once it's melted, stir in the flour and cook for about a minute.
- Slowly whisk in the broth until the roux has been incorporated.
- Whisk in the ranch seasoning.
- Add the pork back to the skillet (along with any juices from the plate) and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until it has finished cooking through and the sauce has thickened up a bit more. You may need to turn the head down again so it's gently bubbling (you don't want the sauce to get too thick before the pork is cooked through).
- Serve with the fresh parsley sprinkled over top if desired. Taste prior to adding extra salt as this recipe is quite salty.
Notes
- Due to the ranch seasoning and chicken broth, this recipe is fairly salty. This is why I recommend using low (or no sodium) chicken broth. If you're very sensitive to salt, you could halve the amount of ranch seasoning, or make your own homemade ranch seasoning.
- Pork is safe to eat at 145F and a little pink inside.
