I am of Danish descent and love all things pork, both old recipes and new. Here's a dish I came up with myself. —John Hansen, Marstons Mills, Massachusetts.

Ingredients

1 pork tenderloin (3/4 pound)
6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 small sweet onion, sliced and separated into rings
1-1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons butter, divided
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1/4 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
2 tablespoons port wine or additional beef broth
1/8 teaspoon salt, optional
1/8 teaspoon each dried basil, thyme and rosemary, crushed
Dash pepper
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons water

Directions

Cut pork into 1/2-in. slices; flatten to 1/8-in. thickness. Coat with Parmesan cheese; set aside.
In a large skillet, saute the onion, mushrooms and garlic in 1 teaspoon butter and 1 teaspoon oil until tender; remove and keep warm. In the same skillet, cook pork in remaining 1 teaspoon butter and 1 teaspoon oil in batches over medium heat until juices run clear, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove and keep warm.
Add broth to pan, scraping to loosen browned bits. Stir in wine or additional broth; add seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into pan juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Serve with the pork and the onion mixture.

Amazing dish, we absolutely loved it! The only change I made was doubling the sauce as recommended in the reviews. A definite keeper!

Excellent recipe. Easy to prepare. Pork was nice and tasty. The sautéed veggies were a perfect topping. I doubled up on the sauce. I also used thin cut loin chops. Add a side and you’ve created an amazing dinner. VFE. This is a must try.

I loved this dish. I didn't have grated parmesan cheese but the sprinkle kind worked just fine. I also used black chinese mushrooms and they were delicious. I wished I had made more of the sauce though so if you like sauce atleast double that.
