Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 cups chopped leeks (white and pale green parts only; about 2 medium)
1 cup low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
3 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard
2 1-pound pork tenderloins, each cut crosswise into 6 slices
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add leeks and cook until beginning to turn golden, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Stir in broth, wine, and garlic. Boil until mixture is reduced to 1 2/3 cups, about 4 minutes. Whisk in crème fraîche and mustard; set aside. (Sauce can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.) Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Sauté until browned and cooked, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer pork to platter. Add sauce to skillet; simmer sauce over medium heat until slightly thickened, scraping up any browned bits, about 2 minutes. Stir in chopped chives and tarragon. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Return pork to skillet. Cook over medium heat just until rewarmed, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. Transfer to platter, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit with my family! The pork was so tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful and creamy. I will definitely be adding this recipe to my regular rotation.

The pork medallions were a bit dry, but the sauce was very good.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The pork medallions were cooked to perfection and the mustard-chive sauce was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making this again.
