Benefits of Sous-Vide Cooking

• Sous-vide cooking allows for precise control over the cooking process, ensuring consistent results every time. The pork tenderloin cooks evenly from edge to center, eliminating the risk of overcooking or undercooking.
• Sous-vide cooking allows you to prepare the pork in advance and hold it at the desired temperature until you are ready to finish it with a quick sear. This makes it ideal for meal planning or entertaining, as you can have the pork ready to serve when needed.

See recipe card for quantities

Instructions

Preparing the tenderloin:

Using a sharp knife, remove the silver skin from the pork, then pat dry.

Preheat the sous-vide water bath to 135°F (65°C).

Season the pork with salt, pepper, then drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Rub the seasonings onto the meat to ensure even distribution.

Place the tenderloins into a vacuum-seal bag and add the sprig of rosemary. Seal, then remove the air with the vacuum pump.

Submerge the bag into the preheated water bath and cook for 75 minutes. This cooking time at low temperature will result in a tender and juicy pork loin.

While the pork cooks, prepare the Strawberry-Jalapeño Balsamic Sauce:

In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, chopped jalapeño, port wine, balsamic vinegar, honey, pepper, salt, and a sprig of rosemary. Bring the mixture to a low rolling simmer over medium heat.

Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 25-35 minutes, stirring occasionally until the strawberries and jalapeño have softened and the sauce thickens.

Remove the saucepan from heat and add the lemon juice. Set aside to cool slightly before serving.

Finishing the Pork:

After the sous-vide cooking time is complete, remove the pork loin from the water bath and carefully remove it from the bag. Place it on a rack and pat dry with paper towels.

Preheat a skillet or grill over high heat. Sear the pork loin for 1-2 minutes on each side until it develops a golden-brown crust.

Allow the pork loin to rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into medallions.

For Serving:

Arrange the pork loin medallions on a serving platter or individual plates.

Drizzle the strawberry-jalapeño balsamic sauce generously over the pork loin.

Garnish with fresh sliced strawberries, rosemary, lemon zest, microgreens, a sprinkle of Malden salt and fresh jalapenos to dial up the heat, if you like it spicy.
