  4. Heat half the canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the pork in one layer and sear 3 to 4 minutes, turning, until it reaches 145°F (63°C); move it to a plate to rest 3 minutes.
  5. Add the remaining half of the canola oil to the skillet. Cook the mushrooms 4 minutes until browned.
