Devil's Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients
  • 1 (1 pound) whole pork tenderloin
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon extra-hot prepared horseradish
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cold butter
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
Instructions
1
Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, or 190 degrees Celsius. Next, sprinkle a generous amount of salt and black pepper over the pork to enhance its flavor.
2
In a large skillet, heat a substantial amount of oil over high heat until it starts to shimmer. Carefully place the pork into the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side, or until it develops a rich brown color. Flip the pork over and immediately transfer the skillet to your preheated oven.
3
Allow the pork to cook in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it reaches a perfect balance of browning and tenderness. To verify the pork's doneness, insert an instant-read thermometer into its center; it should read at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit, or 63 degrees Celsius.
4
Remove the pork from the oven and place it on a clean plate. Next, discard any excess oil that may have accumulated in the skillet during cooking.
5
Place the skillet back over medium-high heat and pour in a generous amount of chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, scraping any browned bits that have accumulated at the bottom of the skillet.
6
In a quick motion, whisk together the cream, horseradish, Dijon mustard, and cayenne pepper until well combined. Continue cooking the sauce for 3 to 4 minutes, or until it has thickened to your liking.
7
Remove the skillet from the heat and whisk in a generous amount of cold butter until it is fully incorporated. Finally, stir in some chopped chives to add a fresh touch to the sauce.
8
Slice the cooked pork into 1/2-inch thick slices and top each slice with a generous amount of the creamy sauce.
