Steps

To prepare the mustard pork tenderloin without cream…

  • Take the pork tenderloin and cut out 3 slices approximately 0.6 inches thick, flour them shaking off the excess flour.

  • In a small pot, heat the beef broth or some water that you will use to thin the mustard during cooking.

  • In the pan, melt the butter and when it is completely melted, place the sliced pork tenderloin. Cook for about 2 minutes per side, turning the slices with tongs to avoid piercing the meat.

  • Remove the pan from the heat for a moment, add the mustard, and deglaze with a little broth or water, so as to dilute the mustard to cover the meat on both sides.

  • Return everything to the heat, slightly thickening the sauce. Plate, adding salt, pepper, and pour the mustard over the slices.
