Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the pork with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add 4 of the pork cutlets and brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and continue cooking, about 1 minute more. Remove the pork from the skillet and transfer to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and repeat with the remaining 4 cutlets. Transfer to the plate and set aside.
- Add the butter and almonds to the skillet, stirring until both are browned but not burnt. Remove the almonds to a separate plate.
- Add the haricot verts, almond milk, sour cream, Worcestershire and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the skillet. Cook until the beans are tender and cooked through and the mixture is starting to thicken, about 6 minutes. Stir in the parsley and reserved almonds.
- Divide the haricot verts evenly among 4 plates and spoon some sauce over them. Top with 2 cutlets per plate and sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:
- Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, mustard, and 2 teaspoons salt in a sturdy 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the pork tenderloins and turn to coat with the marinade. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours but preferably overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and discard the marinade but leave the herbs that cling to the meat. Sprinkle the tenderloins generously with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown. Place the saute pan in the oven and roast the tenderloins for 10 to 15 minutes or until the meat registers 137 degrees F at the thickest part. Transfer the tenderloins to a platter and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Carve in 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. The thickest part of the tenderloin will be quite pink (it's just fine!) and the thinnest part will be well done. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm, or at room temperature with the juices that collect in the platter.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork tenderloin cooks evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the pork for doneness by cutting into the thickest part of the tenderloin. The pork is done when the juices run clear.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the pork tenderloin. If the pan is too crowded, the pork will not brown evenly.
- Be careful not to overcook the pork tenderloin. Overcooked pork tenderloin will be dry and tough.
- Serve the pork tenderloin immediately after cooking. The pork is best when it is hot and juicy.
Conclusion:
Pork tenderloin amandine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The pork tenderloin is cooked to perfection and then topped with a creamy almond sauce. The dish is served with rice or potatoes and vegetables.
