Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Mushroom Sauce; an easy recipe to try!

It takes hardly 45 minutes to make this delicious grilled pork tenderloin in mushroom sauce. The recipe is simple, tastewise this pork dinner is brilliant and filling. All these considering you are using a good quality tenderloin. Tenderloin is my favorite portion of Pork along with the belly. I am not a pork-fat person unless I am savoring a good slow-cooked pork belly. I prefer tender chunks of pork preferably without the fat! Tenderloin works for me. The only thing that matters is the cooking time while handling tenderloin. I will briefly talk about that below. 

Pasta loves pork. I receive a request or two at least twice or thrice a month for something from her! Considering the number of sausages she consumes or the number of times she eats bacon I try to restrict the number of serving to 2-3 times a month for the main course.

9. You will see a lot of gravy in the packets; store it; this will be added to the mushroom sauce as well.
10. The pork tenderloin will be buttery soft yet cooked. It can be served as it is with a side of mashed potatoes or with mushroom sauce.
11. Now cut the pork tenderloin into pork medallions.

Notes

• I mostly make the mushroom sauce in big batches and use it to make different dishes including our favorite pork tenderloin dinner.
• Be very careful while cooking/ grilling pork tenderloin. You can see how soft it is. It, however, turns chewy if over-baked/ over-fried. 
• Medallions are oval cuts; medal-shaped Tenderloin.
