There are no two ways about it. I love pork fillet/tenderloin. Especially when it is cooked to perfection and still slightly rosy pink inside. Drizzle a delicious sauce on top and I’m in my element. I’ve given you recipes where the meat is paired with fruit, marinated in a charming Chinese sauce and soaked up in a tangy, boozy citrus sauce. It was only a matter of time that a decadent cheese sauce will make an appearance...
📖 Recipe
Pork Fillet with Creamy Camembert Sauce
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: 4 1x
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 15ml (1 tbsp) oil
- 25g (1 oz) butter
- 2 pork fillets (tenderloins), weighing around 450g (1 lb) each
- 45ml (3 tbsp) white wine
- 150ml (5 fl oz) double [heavy] cream
- ½ Camembert cheese, rind removed and sliced
- 7.5ml (1 ½ tsp) Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan 170°C/350°F/gas 4). Trim the pork fillet, removing any fat or sinew from the outside.
- Heat oil and butter in a frying pan, add the fillets and cook until lightly browned all over. (Retain the cooking oils in the pan.) Remove and place in an oven-proof dish and bake for 15 minutes for medium to well-done or 20 minutes for well-done. Leave in a warm place for 10 minutes before slicing in 2.5cm (1 inch) diagonal wedges. (See notes.)
- Meanwhile, add the wine to the pan and bring to the boil, scraping the base of the pan. Stir in the cream and bring back to the boil.
- Add the cheese and mustard and any accumulated juices from the meat. Stir until the cheese melts. Add a little more cream if needed and adjust the seasoning. Serve the pork with the sauce immediately.
Notes
- As you can see in the photo, this meal was enjoyed with a generous portion of mash, buttered Brussels sprouts and sweet carrots.
- For a healthier sauce use crème fraîche instead of double cream.

Thank you. Camembert sauce is actually one of my favourite sauces out there 🙂

I agree - pork fillet is one of the most versatile and easy-to-cook things around. I made a Thai-inspired dish out of it recently - msut dig out the photos and recipe!

Absolutely incredible. I can just taste the camembert sauce with a hint of mustard on a tender pork fillet. This is perfect for Easter dinner. Now what about wine?

These pork fillets are SUCH good value and really impressive if cooked lightly. They're also delicious marinated in garlic, rosemary and olive oil, seared on all sides and then roasted for 10 minutes with chopped onions and apples and then the sauce bubbled with some creme fraiche and dry cider. One of my favoutie meat cuts, I'd say.

Mmm, cheese in any sauce is good (ok, so cheese by itself is brilliant too), but I can imagine it being particularly good with tender pork.

Well, I personally have to stay far away from cream sauce at the moment, but it does look quite delicious!!

Mmmmm. Your photos sure do make a girl hungry!
It's just such a versatile meat, and is gorgeous when cooked until "still slightly rosy pink inside."
In the summer we rub pork tenderloins with a spicy cajun blend in the morning and grill them that night on the barbeque - it's one of my favorites.
