Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat pork dry, season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until foaming. Sear pork 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Add mushrooms and shallot to the skillet, cook until mushrooms soften and liquid evaporates, about 4 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Pour wine into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in cream, mustard, and thyme. Slide pork back into the pan and simmer until pork reaches 145°F, about 2 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Serve pork with sauce spooned over top. Garnish with fresh parsley if you have it.
