Pork with Gorgonzola Sauce

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme
• 2 pork tenderloins (3/4 pound each)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
• Additional Gorgonzola cheese crumbles, optional

Description

1. Preheat oven to 425°. In a small bowl, whisk the mustard, olive oil and thyme until blended; set aside. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet over high heat, brown pork on all sides, about 10 minutes.
2. Transfer pork to a foil-lined roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Spread mustard mixture over all sides of pork. Bake until a thermometer reads 145°, 10-20 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand 5 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, over medium heat, saute garlic in butter for 30 seconds. Stir in flour until well blended. Gradually whisk in the cream, wine and chicken broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 1 minute. Add cheese. Cook and stir until sauce is reduced to desired consistency, about 5 minutes.
4. Slice pork and transfer to serving plates. Spoon sauce over pork. If desired, sprinkle pork with additional cheese.
