Equipment

Large skillet
Cutting board
Knife
Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

1 lb pork tenderloin cut into bite-sized pieces
8 oz mushrooms sliced
1 medium onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Fresh parsley chopped for garnish

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the pork is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the butter. Once melted, add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the garlic and mushrooms to the skillet and cook until the mushrooms are soft and browned, approximately 5 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium and return the pork to the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir in the Dijon mustard and smoked paprika until everything is well coated.
Pour in the heavy cream and let the mixture simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your liking. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, you can add a teaspoon of xanthan gum to the cream before adding it to the skillet.

Feel free to substitute the pork with chicken or beef if preferred.

If you're not strictly keto and want a little extra texture, sprinkle a handful of toasted, slivered almonds on top before serving.
