This is an Italian restaurant classic that’s surprisingly easy to recreate at home. It’s perfect for a weeknight that calls for something a little special.
STEP 1
Cut the pork tenderloin into 1½–2 inch slices. Lightly dredge each piece in flour, shaking off any excess.
STEP 2
Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat. Sauté the pork for about 3 minutes per side, until nicely seared and golden.
STEP 3
Season with salt and add the green peppercorns to the pan.
STEP 4
Pour in the brandy and let it cook for 1–2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate while loosening the flavorful bits from the pan.
STEP 5
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and mustard until smooth and combined.
STEP 6
Simmer gently on low heat for about 10 minutes (a little longer if cut thicker), until the pork is tender and the sauce is thick and creamy.
Pour a glass of Gratsi White and rewind time with this classic. Buon Appetito!
