💡 Why It Sticks
The savory sherry-mushroom sauce lingers, but the cravings do not. Comfort that stays.
🥩 Pork Tenderloin: Succulent, lean perfection with a melt-in-your-mouth tenderness that keeps you full without the carbs.
🍄 Mushrooms (Button or Shiitake): Earthy, umami-packed bites that absorb the sherry’s richness, supporting gut health with prebiotic fibers.
🧈 Butter: Silky richness that coats your taste buds while delivering satiating fats to curb cravings instantly.
🌿 Fresh Parsley: Bright, herbaceous lift that cuts through the richness, loaded with vitamin C for immune support.
🧄 Garlic: Aromatic and subtly spicy, this natural flavor enhancer supports immune health while deepening the sauce.
🍷 Dry Sherry: A subtle, smoky sweetness that transforms the dish with complex depth. Cooked down to remove the alcohol, but the flavor remains.
🧂 Beef Bouillon: Concentrated savory intensity that elevates the sauce, providing a rich, comforting base.
🌱 Green Onion: A gentle, peppery crunch that cuts through the richness and adds a fresh, vibrant finish.
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lay the pork tenderloin in a cast-iron skillet. Season generously with salt and pepper. This is the foundation flavor begins here.
2. Roast for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the pork reaches 145°F. The aroma will signal its tenderness. Do not rush.
3. Remove pork and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes under foil. This is where the juices return to every fiber.
4. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. The golden sizzle is your signal richness is building.
5. Add mushrooms, green onion, and garlic. Stir for 3 to 5 minutes until they soften, releasing their earthy aroma.
6. Stir in parsley, thyme, and additional pepper. Add sherry and bouillon, letting it bubble and thicken to a velvety sauce.
7. Slice the rested pork and serve it draped in the sherry-mushroom sauce. Let the richness speak.
