Ingredients

• 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Mustard Sauce

• 1/2 cup heavy cream 
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon 
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 - 2 tablespoons water (optional, or as needed)

Here's how to make it: 

1. Season the pork tenderloins all over with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until golden brown. Put the pork onto a baking sheet. 
2. Bake in a preheated 400-degree F oven for about 13 to 15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145 to 155 degrees F. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before serving with mustard sauce. (Slice any leftovers for pork tenderloin sandwiches.)
3. To make the mustard sauce, add the heavy cream, Dijon mustard and whole grain mustard to the skillet. Stir up any brown bits on the bottom and heat until just about to simmer. Add the tarragon, parsley and salt and pepper, to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water. (If you don't like tarragon, you could substitute thyme or your favorite fresh herbs.)
