Ingredients

  • 1 16 oz pork tenderloin, silver skin removed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp seasoning blend
  • 2 shallots diced
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 3 oz blue cheese

Instructions

  • Slice the pork — Cut the tenderloin into even medallions about 1–1.5 inches thick so they cook uniformly.
  • Season generously — Coat the medallions with the spice blend, pressing lightly so it adheres well.
  • Sear the pork — Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high until it shimmers. Add pork and listen for a steady sizzle. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3–4 minutes per side.
  • Remove and rest — Transfer the pork to a plate. It should feel slightly springy when pressed, not firm.
  • Cook the shallots — In the same pan, add diced shallots. Stir as they soften and turn translucent, picking up browned bits from the pan.
  • Deglaze with wine — Pour in white wine. It should bubble immediately and release a rich aroma. Let it reduce by about half.
  • Add cream — Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. The sauce should thicken slightly and coat the back of a spoon.
  • Melt the cheese — Add blue cheese and stir slowly until melted and smooth. Avoid boiling to keep it creamy.
  • Finish the dish — Return pork to the pan, spoon sauce over, then sprinkle green onions and parsley just before serving.
