Steps:
- Trim off excess fat and slice the pork tenderloin into about 1" thick pieces (rounds).
- Season the pork with salt & pepper and coat each piece in flour.

- Stir in the garlic, Dijon mustard, chicken broth, Herbs de Provence, and then return the pan to the heat. Scrape up any brown bits. Let the sauce cook for about a minute.
- Stir in the cream and let it bubble for about 2 minutes. Add the pork back in and cook for 5 minutes (you may need to turn the heat down a bit) until the pork is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to your liking.
- Stir in the fresh parsley and season with extra salt & pepper if needed.

PORK MEDALLIONS WITH VANILLA RUM CREAM SAUCE
The vanilla-rum-cream combination is out of this world. I would suggest actually making DOUBLE the sauce if you want the pasta to be nice and creamy. If you are serving over rice, or with potatoes, the regular amount should be fine. Serve along with some lightly steamed broccoli or green beans and you have an easy, yet elegant looking dish. From Food and Drink Magazine, Spring 2003 (IMPORTANT NOTE: Please do NOT substitute the vanilla bean for vanilla extract! It won't taste the same. The DARK rum is critical as well - the flavour is far more INTENSE than a white or amber rum. Try Meyers Dark, Pussers or Appleton.)
