Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin, trimmed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Pat the pork tenderloin completely dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over all sides of the pork.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side until a deep golden crust forms.
  4. Transfer the skillet directly into the preheated oven. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part.
  5. Remove the pork from the skillet and place it on a clean cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Place the same skillet back on the stovetop over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, scraping up the browned bits.
  7. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in the fresh dill.Pour the warm sauce onto a serving platter. Slice the rested pork into half-inch rounds and arrange them over the sauce. Top with red pepper flakes and serve immediately.
