Arista Tonnata (Pork Loin with Tuna Sauce)

/5

Ingredients (4x servings)

For the Pork Loin:

  • 2.2 lbs (1 kg) pork loin
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 sprigs sage
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Tuna Sauce:

 

  • 2 medium eggs
  • 7 oz (200 g) canned tuna, drained
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) salted capers
  • 3 anchovy fillets in oil
  • 1 cup (150 g) meat broth
  • Capers for garnish (optional)

Instructions

For the Pork Loin:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • In a large pan, heat the olive oil with rosemary, sage, and garlic cloves.
  • Season the pork loin with salt and pepper, and sear on all sides until golden.
  • Transfer the pork loin to a baking dish with herbs underneath. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and pour it over the pork. Cook in the oven for about 1 hour, occasionally basting with the cooking juices.
  • The pork is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C). (Using a probe thermometer throughout cooking is recommended.)
  • Let the pork cool completely before slicing it thinly.
  • If the pan juices have reduced too much, add a little water, deglaze again, and reduce the sauce as needed, finishing with a pat of butter.

For the Tuna Sauce:

  • In a blender, combine hard-boiled eggs, drained tuna, anchovy fillets, capers, and meat broth.
  • Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

To Assemble:

  • Spread some tuna sauce on a serving platter.
  • Arrange the thin pork slices on the platter, slightly overlapping.
  • Cover the slices with more tuna sauce.
  • Garnish with caper berries and drizzle with the reduced cooking sauce.
