=== Ingredients ===
* 4 T olive oil, divided, plus more as needed
* 1 1/2 lbs thinly sliced mushrooms
* Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
* 1 medium red or yellow onion
* 1 (1- to 1 1/2 lb) pork tenderloin
* 1/2 t garlic powder, or 2 garlic cloves, minced
* 3/4 c half-and-half
* 1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
* 1 c fresh parsley leaves and tender stems
* 2 t apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar

=== Preparation ===
Warm 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in your largest nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  When it shimmers, add the mushrooms and stir to coat in oil.  Spread them into an even layer and cook, undisturbed, for 3 minutes, then stir, spread evenly again, and cook, undisturbed, for 3 minutes more.  Add more oil if the skillet gets too dry.  Repeat until the mushrooms are browned, 6-9 minutes total, then season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.  Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl.

While the mushrooms cook, thinly slice the onion.  Remove the silver skin from the pork tenderloin, cut the meat crosswise into 1/2-inch thick rounds, then cut each round piece into a half-moon.

Return the empty mushroom skillet to medium-high heat (no need to wipe out the pan).  Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.  When it shimmers, add the onion and the pork.  Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, a few grinds of pepper, and the garlic/garlic powder.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is almost cooked through, about 4 minutes.  Add the mushrooms and any juices that have collected, the half-and-half, and the mustard.  Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and wraps itself araound the pork and mushrooms, 2-3 minutes.

While the pork cooks, finely chop the parsley.

Stir in the chopped parsley and the vinegar.  Divide among four bowls and enjoy.
