15 grams (1 tablespoon) Garlic powder
15 grams (1 tablespoon) Onion powder
15 grams (1 tablespoon) Paprika
30 grams (2 tablespoons) Butter
30 ml (2 tablespoons) Olive oil
1 large Onion, sliced
450 grams (1 pound) Portabella Mushrooms (or any type), sliced
2 Garlic cloves, chopped
30 grams (2 tablespoons) Flour or Corn Starch

240 ml (1 cup) Low-Sodium Chicken broth
120 ml (1/2 cup) Sour cream or Half & Half milk or Cream cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Slice the pork tenderloin into several medallions, approximately 1-inch thick.
On a large plate or in a zip lock bag, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Dredge the pork medallions in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork medallions until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to a warm plate and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Add sliced onions and mushrooms, sautéing until the mushrooms are browned and the onions are caramelized.
Add chopped garlic to the skillet and cook for one minute.
Sprinkle flour or corn starch over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine.
Pour in Marsala or white wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Stir in sour cream (or your preferred dairy option) until incorporated.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet and simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken to a gravy consistency.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, cook your favorite pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and add to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta with the creamy mushroom sauce.
Garnish with fresh herbs such as chives, thyme, dill, or parsley.
