🔪 How To Make Pork Tenderloin With Mushroom Gravy
Before you get started, make sure to portion your pork tenderloin after trimming any excess fat. You'll need
- Prep. Cut 2 pounds (917 grams) of pork tenderloins into 1-1 ½ inch sliced portions for your filets. Each tenderloin should yield 6 or more filets.
- Combine the seasoning. Measure and mix the ½ teaspoon (3 grams) of salt, ½ teaspoon (3 grams) of pepper, ½ teaspoon (1 gram) of paprika, and ¼ teaspoon (0.75 grams) of garlic powder in a small bowl, then season both sides of each cut pork tenderloin portion. *I usually roll the sides through my seasoning as well. It adds even more wonderful flavor!
- Heat. Bring a large skillet or frying pan with 1 tablespoon (14 grams) of coconut oil to medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer and is just about to start smoking, it's hot enough for pan-searing the pork.
- Sear the pork medallions. Cook for 3 minutes per side, a little bit longer, closer to 4 minutes if the pork filets are thick cut.
- Rest. Remove from heat when both sides are golden and caramelized. Set aside and allow the pork tenderloin filets to rest while you make the pan gravy.
Make The Mushroom Gravy
- Saute the mushrooms. Leave the skillet or frying pan with the cooked pork pan juices on medium-high heat, and add 1 tablespoon (8 grams) of minced garlic and 8 ounces (226.8 grams) of cut mushrooms. Cook until the garlic is slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
- Make the gravy. Add 1 ½ cups (354.88 milliliters) of heavy cream, 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of Dijon mustard, 2 strips (44 grams) of crisped bacon pieces, and 4-6 cut sage leaves. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and allow to simmer over low heat until thickened.
- Serve. Season with salt and pepper, as needed, to taste. Spoon over the prepared pork tenderloin medallions and serve immediately.

Reheating Pork Tenderloin
You can reheat your pork tenderloin with mushroom gravy over medium-low heat on the stovetop, flipping occasionally until warmed through. Alternatively, you can put it in a baking dish in the oven and cover it with foil. Add a splash of broth to thin the gravy if needed. Bake at 325°F (160°C/Gas Mark 3) for 20-25 minutes or until warmed through.
