Serves 6

4 pork tenderloins, approx 2lbs in total
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil, for the frying pan
1/2 cup (120ml) dry white wine
3/4 cup (180ml) whipping cream
1/4 lb (113g) gorgonzola cheese, at room temp
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temp
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tbsp minced chives

Preheat the oven to 350F
Season the pork all over with salt and pepper.
Oil a heavy cast iron frying pan lightly with vegetable oil and heat over high heat.
Add the pork and brown on all sides. Remove from the pan to a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 mins until cooked through but still a bit pink

In a small saucepan, reduce the wine over moderate heat to 1 tbsp (15 mls)
Add the cream and reduce by half.
Remove from the heat and whisk the gorgonzola and butter into the sauce, whisking constantly until incorporated. Season to taste and add the chives.

To serve
Slice the tenderloin into 1-inch (2.5cm) slices and place on heated plates.
Surround with the sauce and serve immediately with some crusty bread to mop up the sauce.
