Pork Loin Diablo

• 1.5 lb pork loin (usually come in a 2-pack)
• 1/2 cup chicken stock
• 1/4 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
• 2 tbsp dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp horse radish
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1tbsp cold butter
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp coconut oil or bacon grease

Start off by preheating your oven to 375F.  Prep the pork by rinsing and patting it dry. Trim off excess fat.  I find that pork loin sometimes has a piece of silvery tissue, I usually trim that part off as well.  Season the pork generously with salt and pepper.  In a large oven-safe skillet, melt coconut oil or bacon grease in high heat.  The pan must get hot since you will be searing the pork loin in only one side.  If your pan is hot enough, place the pork loin inside the pan and allow for one side to sear until it no longer sticks and it has formed a nice golden crust.  At this time, flip the pork loin and place the pan inside the oven.  Depending on your oven, the pork should be done in about 30-35 minutes.  If you want to check with a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should read 145F.  Once the pork is thoroughly cooked, place it in a plate to rest.  Using the pan's drippings, add the chicken stock, the dijon mustard, horse radish and cayenne pepper and whisk.  Let the sauce reduce by half, then add the heavy cream or coconut milk.  Remove the pan from the heat and stir the cold butter constantly until it melts.  Slice the pork and spoon the sauce over it.  I hope you Give this recipe a try.  It sounds complicated but it is so simple to make!
