Pork Tenderloin Diablo

This is a great pork recipe. Mustard is a classic with pork, but when you add the extra zing of horseradish and cayenne, and then smooth it out with a little cream and butter, well, it’s devilishly delicious.

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 1 pound whole pork tenderloin
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon extra-hot prepared horseradish
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cold butter
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Season pork with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat oil in an ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add pork; cook until browned on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip pork; transfer skillet to the preheated oven. Cook until pork browned and still slightly pink in center, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer pork to a plate.
  3. Discard any excess oil from skillet. Place skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken broth; bring to a boil, scraping any browned bits off bottom of skillet. Whisk in cream, horseradish, Dijon mustard, and cayenne pepper; continue cooking until reduced to a thick sauce, 3 to 4 minutes. Off heat, whisk in cold butter, then stir in chives.
  4. Slice pork into 1/2-inch slices; top with sauce.
