Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- 1 piece pork loin (approx. 250-300g)
- Pinch of salt
- 2-3 tbsp Ghee butter
- 1 whole garlic
- Pinch of fresh thyme
- 2 onions
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 1/2 cup Madeira wine
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tsp starch powder
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 green part of green onion
- Pinch of olive oil
- Pinch of Maldon salt
Recipe 🍳
- Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels, make shallow cuts inside the meat, and season with salt.
- Melt ghee butter in a pan, add halved whole garlic cloves to infuse the butter, then place the pork loin and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, flipping every 30 seconds.
- Once the meat is golden brown, turn off the heat. Place the roasted garlic and thyme on top of the meat, spoon the hot butter from the pan over it to infuse flavor, cover, and let it rest.
- Using the same pan, add finely chopped onions and stir-fry over high heat until translucent.
- Add regular red wine and sweet Madeira wine to the sautéed onions. Bring to a simmer and reduce by half.
- Add sugar and vinegar to balance the sweet and sour flavors to your liking. Gradually add a starch slurry, stirring until the sauce thickens and coats the onions. Turn off the heat.
- While the pan is still warm, mix in the chopped green parts of the green onion to complete the sweet and sour onion chutney.
- Slice the rested pork loin into bite-sized pieces. Plate the steak, generously top with the onion chutney, add the roasted garlic and thyme, and drizzle with olive oil and Maldon salt before serving.
- Score the pork loin and season with salt.
- Sear the pork loin with garlic in ghee butter until golden brown, infuse with thyme, and let it rest.
- In the same pan used for the meat, sauté chopped onions, then add two types of wine and reduce.
- Season with sugar and vinegar, thicken with starch slurry, and mix in green onions to make the chutney.
- Slice the meat and serve with onion chutney, salt, and olive oil.
Cooking tips 💡
- When grilling pork, gently pressing the back of the meat can help the scores on the front open up, allowing salt to penetrate better and heat to transfer faster.
- When making the onion chutney, do not add all the starch slurry at once. Add it gradually while checking the consistency to prevent lumps.
- Sprinkling coarse Maldon salt over the steak just before serving enhances its direct savory flavor.
