- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped

- 1 onion, sliced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth or white wine
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar

- Sear the pork in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on all sides until golden brown.

- Deglaze the pan with chicken broth or white wine, scraping the browned bits off the bottom.
