Main Ingredients

  • 500g Pork Tenderloin (lean cut, trimmed of excess fat)
  • 3 Shallots (small)
  • Fresh Pineapple Slices

Seasoning & Sauce

  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black Pepper (freshly ground for best flavor!)
  • Dried Oregano (adjust to your preference)
  • 1 sprig Fresh Rosemary
  • Tomato Sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Balsamic Glaze (or Balsamic Cream Sauce)

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

First, prepare your fresh pork tenderloin. Select a thick-cut tenderloin steak and carefully trim away any excessive fat. A leaner cut will result in a cleaner flavor. Butterfly the tenderloin or slice it thinly and evenly to ensure consistent cooking. Next, place the prepared pork slices on fresh pineapple slices to marinate. The enzymes in the pineapple will help tenderize the meat, creating a wonderfully soft texture. Allow it to marinate for about 15-20 minutes.

Step 1

Step 2

Now, let’s season the pork beautifully! Remove the tenderloin from the pineapple and pat it dry. Generously sprinkle both sides with salt and dried oregano. Then, drizzle a good amount of olive oil over the meat, coating both sides. Finish with a generous grinding of fresh black pepper and place a sprig of fresh rosemary on top of the meat to infuse its aromatic flavor. The herbs and oil will add a wonderful depth of flavor.

Step 3

Heat a grill pan over high heat until it’s very hot. Add a light drizzle of olive oil to the hot pan, then carefully place the seasoned pork tenderloin onto the pan. Searing the meat quickly over high heat is crucial to lock in the juices. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, until nicely browned and seared. While the pork is cooking, slice the shallots into thick pieces and add them to the pan to roast alongside the steak. Their sweet, caramelized flavor complements the pork wonderfully.

Step 4

While the steak is cooking, let’s prepare a delicious sauce. Combine your homemade or store-bought tomato sauce with a bit of balsamic glaze (or balsamic cream sauce). Mixing these two creates a sauce that’s both tangy and deeply flavorful. You can add a touch of sugar or honey for extra sweetness if you like.

Step 5

Once the steak is perfectly cooked, slice it into your desired portions and arrange it attractively on a serving plate. Generously spoon the prepared sauce over the steak. For a complete and satisfying meal, serve with the roasted shallots, a fresh green salad, grilled pineapple slices, and a side of warm rice. Enjoy your delicious homemade pork steak!
