Over the years, I've found the trick to serving this tender pork with its mild onion-and-mushroom-flavored gravy is to fix enough— people tend to come back for seconds!

Ingredients

  • 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1-1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • Hot wild rice or noodles, optional

Directions

  1. In a skillet, brown pork in butter. Transfer meat to an ungreased shallow 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; set aside. In the pan drippings, saute the onion, mushrooms and celery until tender. Combine flour and broth until smooth; add to skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Pour over meat. Cover and bake at 325° for 1 hour or until a thermometer reads 160°-170°. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with rice or noodles if desired.
