“SMOKED MEAT” STYLE PORK MEDALLION
Chef Larose’s recipes
As part of our collaboration with Boucherie Brunelle, Alain Larose, invites you, twice a month, to discover new flavours and culinary experiences in his column Recipes A. Larose. Today, pork is in the spotlight with a “smoked meat” touch that will make a change from the classic preparation of this icon of the meat world.
BRINE (48H BEFORE COOKING)
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. of salt
- 1 tbsp. of steak spices
- 1 tbsp, of minced garlic
- 1 fresh pork loin medallion
Preparation
- In a container, fully immerse the pork loin in the brine
- Leave to rest in the refrigerator for 48 hours
Chef’s note
I prefer to take only the medallion on the loin since there is less fat. However, you can also use the complete loin if you wish.
