Ingredients
For the tenderloin:
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into cubes
- 1 beef bouillon cube, crumbled (or beef broth)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled and lightly crushed
For the crispy prosciutto:
- 4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
For the caramelized onions:
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the cheese sauce:
- 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled (or substitute with gorgonzola or brie for a milder flavor)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Sauté the Tenderloin:
- Cut the pork tenderloin into small cubes and season with the crumbled beef bouillon cube.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the pork cubes with the crushed garlic cloves until browned. Reserve the meat.
2. Prepare the Crispy Prosciutto:
- Place the slices of prosciutto between two sheets of parchment paper.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 320°F (160°C) for 30 minutes until crisp. Allow to cool and set aside.
3. Caramelize the Onions:
- In a skillet, add a bit of olive oil and the chopped onion.
- Stir in the honey and balsamic vinegar, cooking on medium heat until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Reserve for later.
4. Prepare the Cheese Sauce:
- In a saucepan, combine the blue cheese, heavy cream, and milk.
- Heat on low, stirring constantly until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Keep warm.
5. Plate the Dish:
- On a serving plate, arrange the sautéed pork cubes.
- Drizzle generously with the warm cheese sauce.
- Top with caramelized onions and the crispy prosciutto. Now it’s ready to enjoy!
Tips for Success
- Flavor Balance: If blue cheese is too strong for your taste, substitute it with a more mild cheese like gorgonzola or brie.
- Perfect Sauce: For an extra silky cheese sauce, strain it through a fine mesh sieve before serving.
- Light and Crisp: If you want a lighter prosciutto crisp, consider using a weight or press while baking.
- Make Ahead: This dish is best served fresh, but you can prepare the caramelized onions and crispy prosciutto beforehand to save time.
