Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- 2
Rub salt and pepper over all sides of the pork tenderloins; place the tenderloins snugly next to each other in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- 3
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat; add the garlic and mushrooms. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring often, until the sauce is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir the vinegar into the mushroom sauce. Pour the mushroom sauce over the tenderloins, allowing it to flow between the two tenderloins.
- 4
Bake in the preheated oven until the tenderloins are lightly pink in the center, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer the tenderloins to a serving dish.
- 5
Pour the drippings, including the mushrooms, from the baking dish into a measuring cup, scraping the bottom to capture all the browned bits. Remove 1/4 cup of the fat from the mixture and pour it into a saucepan. Add enough chicken broth to the remaining drippings to make 2 cups; whisk the flour into the drippings until blended. Stir the broth-drippings mixture into the saucepan with the fat over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

Slice the tenderloins into medallions and spoon half the gravy over them. Pour the remaining gravy into a gravy boat for serving.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
