At what point does the pork actually get cooked? I see the searing, and the presentation, but I don’t see it getting cooked. Did I miss something?
Thanks for letting me know. I translated the recipe for the french and omitted this part. It’s rectified.
When you have to set aside and keep warm mignon du porc cook about 2mins per side in the pan. Cut the thickest piece which should be just loosing the blood and mainly juice of the meat.
Set aside in a coverd pan/bowl in perhaps the microwave on warm setting. Do not put back into a hot oven. The porc will continue to cook and still be moist for perhaps 5/10 mins. Practice beforehand if cooking for visitors.
Try serving with a pineau sauce deglazing the pan in pineau + cream + s&p and posibly a little sauge to taste.
