Thyme-Basted Pork Tenderloin with Oyster Mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
- One 1 1/4-pound pork tenderloin
- Kosher salt
- Pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 pounds oyster mushrooms, trimmed and torn into 1-inch pieces
- 4 garlic cloves, 2 minced and 2 crushed
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 2 large thyme sprigs
- Toasted walnuts, for garnish
- Chopped shallot, for garnish
- Chives, for garnish
- Flaky sea salt, for garnish
- In a 12-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the grapeseed oil until shimmering.
- Season the pork with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat until browned all over, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to the oven and roast the pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 135, 18 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a very large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in the olive oil.
- Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, until golden, about 15 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and the parsley and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Remove from the heat.
- Set the pork over moderate heat.
- Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, the crushed garlic and the thyme to the skillet and cook until the butter is foamy.
- Baste the meat with the butter just until the butter browns, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Transfer the pork to a cutting board and cut into thick slices.
- Spoon the mushrooms onto a platter, top with the pork and drizzle with the brown butter.
- Garnish with walnuts, shallot, chives and flaky salt and serve.
