Honey-Dijon Pork Tenderloin

I have to admit, as I was making this dish I thought I was going to hate it. The smell of garlic and onions was almost unbearable and I don't like mustard. To my surprise, it was actually really good. My husband had three helpings and finished it off the next day for lunch. Sometimes you just have to try something, even if it looks like something you would dislike, you may surprise yourself.

Ingredients:

1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch slices (I used 4 boneless porkchops)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup evaporated milk
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
Hot cooked pasta (I used egg noodles)

Directions:

Flatten pork slices to 1/2-in. thickness; sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook pork in oil in batches until meat is no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.

In the same skillet, saute onion and mushrooms in butter until tender. Add garlic; saute 1 minute longer. Stir in the milk, mustard, soy sauce and honey. Return pork to the pan; heat through. Serve with noodles.

Yield: 4 servings.
