Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper, then sear until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove pork from the skillet and place it in a baking dish.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add halved cherry tomatoes and cook until softened (2-3 minutes).
- Pour in heavy cream and stir in Italian seasoning. Allow the mixture to thicken slightly.
- Pour the creamy tomato sauce over the pork in the baking dish, making sure it’s covered. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
