A tangy Gorgonzola cheese sauce dresses up tender slices of pork. Served alongside steamed broccoli, this special entree is sure to create a memorable holiday meal. 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 king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
1/4 cup dry white wine |
1/4 cup chicken broth |
1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled gorgonzola cheese |
additional gorgonzola cheese crumbles, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, whisk the Dijon 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 that has been coated with cooking spray. Spread Dijon mustard mixture over all sides of pork. Bake at 425° for 10-20 minutes or until a thermometer reads 145°. Remove from oven and 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 for 1 minute or until thickened. 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. Sprinkle pork with additional cheese if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
