Ingredients

• 500 grams pork fillet (tenderloin)
• 10 slices pancetta slices
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 100 milliliters white wine
• 100 milliliters chicken stock
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Pat the pork fillet dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Season the fillet with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

Lay the pancetta slices lengthwise on a clean surface, slightly overlapping one another, to create a blanket large enough to wrap the pork fillet.

Step 4

Lay the rosemary sprigs on top of the pancetta. Place the pork fillet on top of the rosemary at one end of the pancetta blanket.

Step 5

Wrap the pork fillet tightly in the pancetta slices, tucking the ends underneath to secure them. You can also use kitchen twine if needed.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the wrapped pork fillet, seam-side down, and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until the pancetta is golden and crispy.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 63°C (145°F).

Step 8

While the pork is baking, finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 9

Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-7 minutes.

Step 10

While the pork rests, prepare the pan sauce. Place the skillet over low-medium heat. Add the butter and garlic, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 11

Deglaze the skillet with white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 12

Add the chicken stock and simmer the sauce for another 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 13

Slice the pork fillet into medallions and serve with the pan sauce drizzled over the top. Garnish with additional rosemary if desired.
