Pork Filet Mignon with Mustard Sauce

[Thermomixer]

The lomo is more likely the equivalent,  but solomillo (as you use with Cabrales) would do just fine.

Made this one for Tea. Loved it.
I cooked it at varoma temp and steamed vegies on top so left the pork really chuncky to try and reduce overcooking and mushrooms halved. Cooked in 20min. Could prob reduce time to 18min.
Sauce is delicious - would make it to go with corned beef!
I used apple juice instead of the vermouth and 1 tsp vegie stock concentrate instead of chicken stock cube. Was very tasty.
I used a bit over 500g of meat which was enough or our family of 5.

next time i might try adding honey to the sauce to make a honey mustard style sauce and use chicken instead of pork.

Bron, if you go to http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/meatcharts.html (sorry don't know what to do for you to just click on it and go straight there so you will have to type it in yourself) then click onto Meat charts - The virtual weber bullet.  Scroll down to the Purchasing Pork image and click onto that.  You will now have pictures of all the different cuts and the tenderloin is what we call a pork fillet.  Is it any clearer?


Well, surprise surprise, it did it on it's own - how clever was that!!

Riv mum, how chunky did you leave your pieces of pork?  I played it safe today and only did the meat and sauce but would like to be able to do the vegies next time.  My thinner slices were still a little pink at 15 minutes which is how we like them, how were your bigger chunks looking in 20 minutes.  2 reviews in the same day, MrSpock will be pleased.

I am tickled pink that this is such a crowd pleaser 

Now I have to get busy and cook this one for myself. Thanks everyone for the reviews. It makes the time investment in translating the recipe very worthwhile.

JudyDawn, Thanks
Thats wonderful for me, I know what it is if I see it, but not sure how to translate it to English, have saved it on my drive, will come in very handy. Thankyou

If I cant get Vermouth, do you think a dry white martini would do? Want to try this tomorrow. If I put potatoes in Varoma, I can mash them afterwards. Pork with mash, and the sauce dribbled over...oooohhh, am drooling just thinking of it!

[Thermomixer]

Dry white Martini should be fine - probably a vermouth blend anyway.

MrSpock, as I think this is a such a good recipe I have alerted Tenina to check it out with a view to testing it and including it in the meat book she is working on at the moment.  Fingers crossed that she agrees with us.

i just got the ingredients to make this tonight or tomorrow couldn't get anything other than normal white mushies though

Judy, My chunks were about 2 to 3 cm wide by 5 to 7 cm long. I just got pork fillet and cut it into thick strips. If you like it a bit pink I would check at about 15min. Mine were still a bit pink then so put them on for another 5 but was slightly to long.

I used apple juice in the sauce as had no plonk. Worked well.

They should work Karen but what I loved about the Swiss browns was they they stayed in the lovely thick 'meaty' slices that I cut them into.  Thick or thin - wouldn't matter, the flavour and texture would still be there.  The sauce is the real  star in this dish.

Thanks riv mum for that info.

OH....
MY....
GOD......

i felt like i was eating in a restaurant tonight!

for a family who doesn't like pork (except me) and who aren't very fond of mushrooms (all of us) we ADORED, INHALED this meal!!!

this is dinner party material.

  to Mr Spock for sharin git!!!

[MrSpock]

YAY! Hadn't seen the latest reviews. I'm so happy this is such a crowd pleaser!

I finally cooked the dish myself tonight. I was convinced DH would hate it, but he actually liked it! Enough to be added to our regular rotation. This is a huge victory, as he usually likes nothing fancy. I personally loved it.

I held the salt, garlic (seemed tasty enough without) and mushrooms as Hubby hates them and would have refused to eat anything with mushrooms in it.

I tried a glass of Vermouth with my meal... ATCHIWAWA! Felt like my oesophagus caught on fire! I think I'll keep it for cooking

  That will teach you for sneaking a drink whilst you are supposed to be cooking the family's dinner MrSpock.
To all our newcomers- you must try this amazing recipe!
