PORK TENDERLOIN WITH CREAMY MARSALA SAUCE
Juicy pork tenderloin smothered in a Creamy Marsala Sauce with Mushrooms. It's like gravy - but even better because the sauce has beautiful layers of flavour in it from the Marsala. Using wine in cooking is how posh restaurants make such beautiful sauces! Use this Marsala Sauce for other proteins like chicken, veal and beef.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Lay the polenta slices on a baking sheet and brush the tops with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Broil until browned around the edges and crisp, 12 to 14 minutes.
- Meanwhile, season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the pork and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side; remove to a plate. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the mushrooms, sliced garlic, shallot and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms brown in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with the flour and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth and wine; bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Return the pork and any juices to the skillet. Cook over low heat until the pork is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the orange juice and season with salt and pepper.
- Combine the orange zest, parsley and minced garlic in a small bowl. Divide the polenta among plates. Top with the pork, mushroom sauce and parsley mixture.

Steps:
- Place the pork chops between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a mallet or heavy skillet until 1/4-inch-thick.
- Sprinkle the pork on both sides with salt and pepper. Put the flour in a shallow dish and dredge the pork in it, shaking off any excess.
- Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and set aside. Repeat with the remaining pork.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet and stir. Cook until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Pour in the Marsala and beef broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up the browned bits. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, 5 to 6 minutes. (If the liquid reduces too quickly, splash in more broth as needed.)
- Whisk the cornstarch into the heavy cream in a small bowl. Pour into the sauce mixture and let it bubble and thicken for another minute.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Serve the pork with the Buttered Noodles and spoon some of the mushrooms and Marsala sauce on top. Sprinkle with the parsley.
- Add the egg noodles to a pan of salted boiling water and cook according to the package directions, 6 to 7 minutes.

Steps:
- Whisk flour, salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl. Dredge tenderloins in the mixture until coated.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until butter has melted. Sear tenderloins in the skillet until browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove tenderloins to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add mushrooms to the same skillet, adding more oil if needed. Cook until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a bowl and drain excess liquid from the skillet.
- Add onion and garlic to the skillet with more oil if needed. Cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove and toss on top of the mushrooms. Turn off the heat.
- Pour 1/2 cup Marsala wine into the skillet and scrape any browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add brown gravy, beef broth, and onion-mushroom mixture. Add tenderloins and turn to coat all sides. The liquid should nearly cover the meat.
- Turn heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly pink in the center, about 30 minutes; the meat should be cooked through but not shredding apart. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
- Remove tenderloins. Stir the sauce and add more wine if desired.
- Slice tenderloins and set on a platter. Pour Marsala sauce over top and serve.

Steps:
- Trim the tenderloins of silverskin and any excess fat. Cut the tenderloins into 2-inch-thick medallions. Flip each medallion onto a cut side and press down with the palm of your hand to flatten slightly. Season the meat with 3/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons black pepper.
- Heat the olive oil and 1 Tbs. of the butter in a large sauté pan over high heat. When the butter is melted and foaming, add half of the meat and sear until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minute Flip and cook the other side until the meat is well browned and slightly firm to the touch, about another 2 minute Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining pork.
- Melt the remaining 2 Tbs. butter in the pan. Add the shallots and a pinch of salt and sauté for about 30 seconds, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the mushrooms and sauté until all of the mushroom liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are golden, about 3 minute Season with 1/2 teaspoons salt, sprinkle with the flour, and add the Marsala. Once the Marsala has almost completely evaporated, add the chicken broth and reduce by half, about 3 minute Stir in the cream and parsley, return the pork and any accumulated juices to the pan, and cook, flipping the pork once, until it's firm to the touch and still a little pink in the middle (cut into a piece to check), 2 to 4 minute Taste for salt and pepper and serve.

ULTIMATE PORK TENDERLOIN WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE
This ultimate pork tenderloin is baked in the oven with mushrooms, onions and a bottle of beer. It comes out so tender, it melts in your mouth. Thank you to my mother for this recipe, it's a family favorite. I usually serve it with homemade mashed potatoes, since it makes a lot of gravy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Pour flour onto a work surface. Rinse pork tenderloins, pat dry, and then dredge in flour. Shake off excess flour and season with salt and pepper; some flour may remain.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pork to the hot oil and cook until well-browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a medium baking dish leaving any oil and drippings in the skillet.
- Add onion to the pan drippings and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and saute until onion is translucent and cooked, about 5 minutes. Pour the onion-mushroom mixture over the pork.
- Whisk beer and soup mix together in a bowl until well blended. Pour beer mixture into the baking dish, making sure that it both covers and surrounds the pork, mushrooms, and onions. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center and gravy is bubbling, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set aside, still covered, to allow it to cook a little bit longer outside of the oven, about 10 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Tips:
- Choosing the Right Pork Tenderloin: Select a tenderloin that is evenly thick throughout, with no large pieces of fat or connective tissue.
- Buttering the Pork Tenderloin: Before searing, brush the tenderloin with melted butter to help it brown evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Searing the Pork Tenderloin: Sear the tenderloin in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is browned. This creates a crispy crust and helps seal in the juices.
- Cooking the Tenderloin in the Oven: Transfer the seared tenderloin to a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Making the Marsala Mushroom Sauce: While the tenderloin is cooking, prepare the sauce by sautéing mushrooms, shallots, and garlic in butter. Add Marsala wine, chicken broth, and cream, and simmer until the sauce has thickened.
- Finishing the Dish: When the pork is cooked through, remove it from the oven, let it rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice it into medallions. Serve the pork medallions over the Marsala mushroom sauce, garnished with fresh parsley.
Conclusion:
This pork tenderloin with Marsala mushroom sauce is an elegant and flavorful dish that is perfect for special occasions. The tender pork, rich Marsala sauce, and sautéed mushrooms come together to create a symphony of flavors that will impress your guests. Whether you are a seasoned cook or a beginner, this recipe is easy to follow and will yield delicious results. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and let's get cooking!
