How to Make Pork Tenderloin With Low Fat Lime Cream Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the pork tenderloin generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Sear the pork tenderloin in a skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned.
  4. Transfer the seared pork tenderloin to a baking dish.
  5. In the same skillet, sauté the shallots and garlic in the remaining olive oil until softened (about 2 minutes).
  6. Add the chicken broth and lime juice to the skillet and bring to a simmer.
  7. Whisk in the non-fat sour cream, lime zest, and cilantro. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
  8. Pour the sauce over the pork tenderloin in the baking dish.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  10. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.
