As you may have noticed, I’m on a cream sauce kick. So much so I’m starting to get sick of them (haha)! However they do taste delicious so I have to admit this tomato Asiago pork tenderloin skillet was very, very tasty. The creamy Asiago sauce is sweetened by the sun dried tomatoes and the spinach adds fresh color to the tender pork tenderloin. Best of all it only takes 30 minutes and it’s low carb (3.6g net carbs)!

Pork tenderloin is a delicious and tender cut of meat. To make this smaller piece of meat stretch further I like to cut it in to pieces and then pound them into thin cutlets. This makes it seem like more meat and it cooks very fast. Two delicious but not low carb pork  skillet recipes on this blog are:   Creamy Pork and Apples and Pork Medallions in Fig Cream Sauce. My family loves both of these dishes. but I also have 2 delicious low carb  pork tenderloin dishes for you to try: breaded pork cutlets and a stuffed pork tenderloin skillet .They are great even if you aren’t on a low carb diet. 

Tomato Asiago Pork Tenderloin Recipe

You start by cutting the pork tenderloin into pieces and then pounding them thin. I could have pounded mine thinner but I was in a hurry. Next you brown the meat in a large skillet on both sides for a few minutes and take it out of the pan so you can make the sauce.

 Whisk the broth to incorporate those tasty brown bits and then add the cream, cheese, garlic and tomatoes. Whisk again to melt the cheese. Then add the meat back, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the spinach in last and just let it wilt. Serve as is or over rice or pasta or eat it as is, like we did.

This is a quick recipe for you today because again I hadn’t intended to post this but it was so tasty I wanted to keep it in my “cookbook” here on my blog. This would be a great meal for company or maybe even on Valentine’s day. I hope you like it as much as we did and here is the nutrition per serving (based on 4 servings):
