Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the silver skin from the pork tenderloin, then cut into 1-inch thick medallions. Season both sides of the medallions with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and garlic powder, to taste.
Place into the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove the pork from the skillet, and set it aside on a plate then cover it with a tinfoil tent.
Add the butter to the same skillet over medium-high heat then add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes; add the shallots and cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes or until tender.
Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute then add the flour. Stir the flour into the mushroom mixture until evenly coated.
Add the chicken broth and stir constantly for 1 minute, making sure to scrape up the browned bits from the pan. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
Add the pork medallions and their juices back to the pan and cook over low for 1 minute or until the pork is warmed through. Serve the medallions smothered in the gravy. Enjoy.
