Make a tender, moist pork tenderloin coated in a rich, low-carb garlic and herb cream sauce. This recipe is quick and keto-friendly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Rub this mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pork tenderloin.
  4. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  6. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside on a cutting board to rest, covering it loosely with foil.
  7. Place the skillet back on the stovetop over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  8. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
  9. Reduce the heat to low. Whisk in the heavy cream and the cubed cream cheese until the sauce is smooth and fully melted.
  10. Stir in the fresh parsley. Taste the sauce and add more salt or pepper if needed.
  11. Slice the rested pork tenderloin into medallions and spoon the creamy garlic herb sauce generously over the top before serving.

Notes

  • For an even richer sauce, you can add 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese along with the cream cheese.
  • If you do not have an oven-safe skillet, sear the pork in a regular skillet and then transfer it to a baking dish before roasting.
  • Resting the pork for 5-10 minutes after cooking keeps the juices inside, resulting in a more tender final product.
