🇫🇷 A French housewife taught me how to cook pork tenderloin ❗️

Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork Tenderloin (trimmed and sliced into 1‑inch medallions)
• 1 tsp Salt (to taste)
• ½ tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tsp Dried Garlic (or 2 fresh garlic cloves, minced)
• ½ tsp Ground Cumin
• 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
• 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter (cut into cubes)
• 2 Garlic Cloves (minced)
• 1 tsp Fresh Rosemary (finely chopped)
• 2 Onion (medium, diced)
• 2 Celery Stalks (chopped)
• 60 ml Heavy Cream (2 fl oz, chilled)
• 60 g Blue Cheese (crumbled)
• ½ Orange (juiced (about 2 tbsp))

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients

   Slice the pork tenderloin into 1‑inch medallions. Season with salt, pepper, dried garlic, cumin and smoked paprika. Chop the onions, celery, mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the rosemary.

   Time: PT5M

2. Sear the Pork

   Heat the skillet over medium‑high heat, add the butter, and once melted add the pork slices. Sear 2‑3 minutes per side until golden brown.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: medium‑high

3. Set Pork Aside

   Transfer the seared pork to a plate and set aside while you build the sauce.

   Time: PT2M

4. Sauté Aromatics

   In the same skillet, add the diced onion, chopped celery and the minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and the celery softens.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: medium

5. Create Creamy Orange Sauce

   Stir in the heavy cream, crumbled blue cheese and the fresh orange juice. Reduce heat to medium‑low and whisk until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: medium‑low

6. Simmer Pork in Sauce

   Return the pork medallions to the skillet, sprinkle the chopped rosemary over the top, cover with the lid and let simmer for 15 minutes on low heat.

   Time: PT15M

   Temperature: low

7. Finish and Serve

   Remove the lid, give the sauce a final stir, adjust salt and pepper if needed, and serve the pork medallions drizzled with the creamy orange‑blue‑cheese sauce.
