Instructions
Sauté the Mushrooms: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced mushrooms, tossing them to coat evenly. Let them cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes, then stir. Continue cooking in intervals of 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown (6 to 9 minutes total). Add more oil if needed. Season with ¾ tsp salt and a few grinds of pepper, then transfer the mushrooms to a bowl.
Prepare the Pork & Onion: While the mushrooms cook, thinly slice the onion. Remove the silver skin from the pork tenderloin, then slice it into ½-inch-thick rounds. Cut each round in half to form half-moon pieces.
Cook the Pork & Onion: Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil. Once hot, add the onion and pork slices. Season with 1½ tsp salt, some freshly ground pepper, and the garlic powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes until the pork is almost cooked through.
Make the Sauce: Add the sautéed mushrooms back to the skillet along with any collected juices. Stir in the half-and-half and Dijon mustard, letting the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly and evenly coats the pork and mushrooms, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Finish & Serve: While the pork finishes cooking, finely chop the parsley. Stir it into the skillet along with the vinegar. Divide into four servings and enjoy!
