PORK TENDERLOIN STEAKS WITH MUSTARD CIDER SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the pork tenderloin into 1-inch-thick steaks on a long bias. Season the steaks all over with salt and black pepper, then toss in the flour to coat.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the foam subsides. Shake the excess flour off the meat and add it to the skillet. Cook, flipping once, until cooked to medium and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers about 150 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the pork steaks to a platter and lower the heat under the skillet to medium.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the shallots. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the cider, mustard, parsley, chives and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Simmer, scraping up any brown bits, until reduced by about half, about 2 minutes. Top the steaks with the sauce and serve.

TWICE-COOKED PORK BELLY WITH CIDER SAUCE

Steps:

• The day before you want to eat, lay the pork belly skinned-side down, season generously, scatter over the fennel seeds and crumble over 3 of the bay leaves. From the widest side, roll into a tight log and use some butcher's string to tie at regular intervals. (You could take some fennel seeds and bay to your butcher and ask them to do it for you.)
• Heat oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3 1/2. Melt the butter in a large, shallow flameproof casserole dish or ovenproof sauté pan. Brown the pork all over (this will take a good 15 mins), then remove from the pan and add the vegetables and remaining bay leaves. Cook for about 10 mins until starting to colour. Nestle the pork among the veg. Pour over the cider and bring everything to a simmer, cover and cook in the oven for 2 hrs.
• When the pork is ready, leave to cool a bit, then remove the pork from the braise and chill. Strain the sauce into a jug and chill. Fish out the bay leaves and blitz the veg to a purée in a food processor. Tip into a bowl and chill.
• On the day, heat oven to 220C/ 200C fan/gas 8. Cut the pork into six rounds. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the pork, then put in the oven for 20 mins, turning halfway through, until crispy. Meanwhile, remove the solidified fat from the top of the braising juices, simmer until syrupy and reheat the purée. Serve everything in the middle of the table or smear some of the purée across plate, sit a piece of pork on top next to a burnt butter cabbage wedge, a piece of potato cake and some crackling (see 'Goes well with', right). Pour over some of the sauce and serve.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLE CIDER SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the pork into 1 inch thick slices. Place between sheets of waxed paper and pound to 1/4 inch thickness. season with salt and pepper.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp of the butter. Add pork slices and cook 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Transfer to a warmed platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
• In the same skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 tbsp butter. Add the apples and saute for 2-3 minutes, or until the apples are lightly browned. With a slotted spoon, transfer the apples to the platter with the pork.
• In the same skillet ovewr medium heat, add the shallot and cook for a minute. Add the sage, cider, and vinegar and bring to a boil, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken stock and boil, stirring for 3 to 4 minutes, or until reduced by half. Stir in the cream, pork, and juices from the platter. Cook, turning the pork once, for 1 or 2 minutes.
• Serve pork with sauce spooned over the pork and apple on the side. Sprinkle parsley over to garnish.

PORK MEDALLIONS WITH CIDER SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the pork tenderloin into 2" - thick medallions and season with salt.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork for 5 minutes on each side or until brown. (The trick to well-seared meat is resisting the urge to move the meat too soon. The meat will "unstick" when a perfect crust is formed.).
• Add apple cider, wine and apple cider vinegar. (This will deglaze the pan and release the brown bits stuck at the bottom.).
• Bring to a boil, cover and cook 5 minutes.
• Remove lid, reduce heat to medium and simmer 5 minutes more. Turn pork occasionally.
• Transfer the pork to a plate and season with pepper. Cover with foil to keep warm.
• This part is important: Simmer the liquids until reduced to 1/2 cup. The sauce should be thick and syrupy and should coat the back of a spoon. This could take 10 to 20 minutes (depending on your stove and the size of the pan you are using). DO NOT over-reduce, it will scorch.
• Spoon the cider sauce over the medallions and serve.

APPLE CIDER SAUCE FOR PORK

Steps:

• Combine cider, broth, vinegar, and cinnamon stick in a medium saucepan. Simmer over medium-high heat until liquid is reduced to 1 cup, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick and discard. Set sauce aside until pork is cooked.
• Pour off any fat from the skillet in which the pork was cooked. Add 1 tablespoon butter and heat over medium heat until melted and foaming subsides. Add shallot and apple and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and add Calvados.
• Return skillet to heat and cook about 1 minute, scraping bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen browned bits. Add reduced cider mixture, any juices from resting meat, and thyme; increase heat to medium-high and simmer until thickened and reduced to 1 1/4 cups, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Off heat, whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons butter and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over pork and serve immediately.
