Pork Tenderloin Creamy Herb Sauce Pinterest

Easy stove-top pork tenderloin or pork loin with creamy herb sauce is packed with flavors, white wine, Cognac, various aromatic herbs and cream, flavorful to the max! A delicious recipe for entertaining!

Pork tenderloin is easy and quick to make, it’s a very tender and juicy cut that is cooked in about 40 minutes, it’s the cut of choice to serve when entertaining, same with pork loin that can also be used for this recipe. Both can be cooked a few hours in advance and re-heated 15 minutes before serving.

I always prefer to cook pork tenderloin in a high sided frying pan on the stove top, I get a better sear and cooking control as pork can become a little dry when overcooked. Pork tenderloin needs to be seared a few minutes on all sides, then cooked through on lower heat for about 30 minutes.

The creamy herb sauce is very aromatic, it is made with a mix of herbs of Provence and lots of parsley cooked with a little bit of mustard, cognac, white wine and cream, so delicious, one of my favorite sauces!
