Pork Tenderloin with Dijon-Chive Sauce

March 19, 2015 by Jaida 1 Comment

Helloooooo! (In my best Mrs. Doubtfire voice)

I know many of you are on spring break vacations (or staycations) right now, and hopefully the weather is being kind to you wherever you are. It’s been a bit rainy this week here in the ATX, but overall warm and pretty delightful. I’m mind-boggled that there is snow forecast for people up north tomorrow. Doesn’t Mother Nature know that tomorrow is the first “official” day of spring??

Get with the program Missy…it’s time for sunshine, warmth, shorts, and flip flops!! Can I get a witness? 

But while we wait for Mama Nature to get it together, I’ll share this amazing recipe with you.

Pork Tenderloin with Dijon-Chive Sauce

I have made this dish numerous times over the last year and every. single. time. failed to get a picture. Of course that just gave me a “reason” to make it again.
And make it again I did. Over and over. It’s become one of those go-to recipes, if I want to make pork tenderloin, but can’t find a new recipe I want to try. And, it’s quick, so there’s that added plus.
I love, love, love the sauce for this. I’ve always said that it’s the sauce that makes a dish. One that has sauce, anyway. J and I rarely eat anything that doesn’t have some sort of sauce to pour over the top, dip in, etc. It just makes things…better. Not that you can’t have a meal without sauce that is divine, but sauce kicks things up a notch. And this one definitely does that. The Dijon is good and tangy, and the Greek yogurt gives a creamy texture that helps to balance it out.
All-in-all this is one of my favorite pork dishes, and once you try it, it will be one of yours too!!

Ingredients
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 lb pork tenderloin, cut into 1/2 inch medallions
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 Tbsp plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 Tbsp whole grain Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh chives
Preparation
  1. Heat butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet, over medium-high heat.
  2. Season pork medallions with salt and pepper, to taste.
  3. Add pork to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
  4. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, and reduce heat to medium. Add onions and garlic and cook until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Add the wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up all the brown bits. Add the broth and bring to a steady simmer for about 5 minutes.
  6. Lower the heat to medium-low and whisk in the yogurt and Dijon mustard until smooth and creamy.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in chives.
  8. Serve pork medallions with plenty of sauce and grain of choice!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
