Pork Tenderloin Diablo
This pork tenderloin diablo 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
-
1 (1 pound) whole pork tenderloin
-
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
-
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
-
½ cup chicken broth
-
2 tablespoons heavy cream
-
1 tablespoon extra-hot prepared horseradish
-
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
-
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter

Description
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Season pork with salt and black pepper.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Slice pork into 1/2-inch slices; top with sauce.
