Filé-mignon suíno com mel e alho

Ingredientes

• 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 - 1 1/4 lb each)
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
• 3 large cloves garlic (minced)
• Neutral oil (to coat)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. 2

   Use a sharp knife to trim the pork tenderloins of any excess fat and silverskin. This great video shows you how to quickly trim a pork tenderloin for cooking.

3. 3

   Whisk together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and sage, then rub the mixture evenly over both sides of the meat.

4. 4

   In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, dijon, and garlic. Set aside.

5. 5

   Heat the oil in a large oven safe skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the pork tenderloins and brown, undisturbed, for 2-3 minutes, or until the pork easily comes loose from the pan. Flip the meat over and brown another 2 minutes. Add the garlic, and saute just 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

6. 6

   Pour the sauce around the sides of the pork tenderloin. Flip the tenderloins over a final time, then place in the oven.

7. 7

   Bake the pork for 13-17 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers at least 145 degrees. Remove the pork to a plate, tent with foil, and allow to rest while you prepare the sauce.

8. 8

   Return the pan with the honey sauce and meat juices to the stove top. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium low heat, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

9. 9

   Slice the tenderloin and serve with plenty of honey garlic sauce.
