Instructions
Sear the pork loin
Season the pork loin with salt, pepper, onion, and garlic powder.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a braiser and sear the pork over medium-high to high heat for 3 minutes on each side or until nicely browned. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside.
Cook the pork in white wine sauce
After removing the pork, add one tablespoon of butter to the braiser and heat over medium heat.
Add the minced shallots and cook, constantly stirring until softened. About 1 minute.
Add one more tablespoon of butter and let it melt. Next, add the flour. Continue cooking, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds.
Slowly add the chicken broth, white wine, and mustard. Stir the sauce, scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
Bump the heat up to high and let the sauce boil for one minute.
Return the meat back into the braiser, spoon some sauce over the meat, cover the pan with a lid, and simmer over low heat for about 40-50 minutes, or until the meat reaches 145F. Flip the meat twice during cooking, spooning some sauce on top.
Roast onions and mushrooms
While the pork is cooking, heat the butter and olive oil in a non-stick or cast iron pan over medium heat. Add the onions and mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Let the vegetables roast for 5 minutes undisturbed. Stir well and let roast for another 5 minutes. Stir one more time, remove from heat, and set aside.
Serving
Remove the pan from heat. Take the meat out and set aside. Add the parsley, lemon juice, and the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and whisk until all ingredients are well combined. Next, add the roasted mushrooms and onions and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Slice the pork loin and serve with your favorite side dish (pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, etc.) and a serving of white wine sauce with roasted onions and mushrooms.
