Pork Fillet Mignons with Streaky Bacon

Ingredients

2 Pork Fillets

12 Slices Streaky Bacon, sliced thin

Sea Salt

Black Pepper

Vegetable Oil

2 tbls Seeded Mustard, extra to serve

60 ml White Wine

80 gm Butter

Fresh Thyme Leaves

Method

To prepare the pork fillet, trim the sinew from the top of the pork fillet, cut the pork fillet into 3-4 portions depending on the size of the pork fillet (we’ve cut ours into 6 cm portions, you will need two medallions per person) Butterfly each of these portions, remove the rind from the streaky bacon, wrap the bacon around each portion and secure with a toothpick. Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper and drizzle with vegetable oil.

Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat. Place the Pork Mignons into the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side. Turn and cook for a further 4-5 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from the pan and keep warm.

Add the white wine to the pan, allow to simmer, add the seeded mustard and butter. Allow to come to a simmer while gently stirring, season with sea salt and black pepper.

Serve the pork mignons with the sauce and sprinkle with the thyme leaves. Serve with the extra seeded mustard.

Cook’s Tip

Serve the pork mignons with an apple slaw.
