pork filet mignon
Pork filet mignon is a juicy meat with little fat. In addition, it is super quick to prepare, in addition to being delicious.
It’s a cut, which should be served more to the point. Cooked yes, but slightly pink, as if it stays in the oven for a long time it can get drier and hardened.
Sweet and sour sauce
To make our fillet juicier, our suggestion here is to prepare a sweet and sour sauce based on soy sauce, sugar and ginger.
The mixture will bring an oriental touch to your meat, in addition to making it very wet.
Tips for making the perfect fillet
As I said before, without a doubt, this is a very simple recipe. But some tips are essential to make the perfect fillet:
- Use cold sauce: In order not to start cooking your meat ahead of time, my tip is to prepare your sauce in advance. That way, it will be cold when brushing it on the meat;
- After brushing the meat, return the sauce to the heat.: To avoid the risk of contamination due to raw meat, after brushing sauce on your meat, return it to the heat for a few minutes, until it starts to boil. It is likely to thicken a little more, so add a little water;
- point of meat: As I said earlier, filet mignon should be served slightly pink. However, for safety reasons, pork, unlike beef, should not be served rare. To make sure your meat is cooked, we have 2 tips for you:
- With the help of a thermometer, ensure that the inside of your meat has reached a temperature of 63°C.
- If you don’t have a thermometer, with a knife, stick your meat right in the middle and press a little. There shouldn’t be any blood when you do this.
- Use a bed of green beans or carrots: This will help your meat not to be in direct contact with the platter and will not let it dry out;
- finish with sauce: As soon as your meat comes out of the oven, brush a little more sauce and separate a little to finish watering your meat with it.
