Medallions of Pork With Thyme Mushroom Cream Sauce
Source: CindyMac

1 pork tenderloin (about 1 1/2 lbs), sliced into 1/2 inch-thick medallions
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
16 ounces mushrooms, sliced (shitake, oyster, button, etc.)
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
(1-2 T extra butter for sauteing mushrooms, (if needed)
3/4 cup heavy cream
1-2 teaspoons hot pepper jelly

HEAT 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pork medallions for 3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Transfer to a serving plate and place in the oven to keep warm.

REDUCE heat to medium. Add mushrooms, thyme, salt & pepper and cook until mushrooms have softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add a little extra butter if necessary to prevent the mushrooms from sticking.

STIR in cream & hot pepper jelly. Heat at a low boil until reduced and thickened, about 7-10 minutes. Plate the pork and spoon the sauce over the top.
