Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Pork: Slice the pork tenderloin in half crosswise, then slice each half lengthwise to create 4 equal pieces. (5 minutes)

02

Step
10 mins

Chill the Pork: Place pork sections between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound to approximately 1/4 inch thickness. Season generously with salt, pepper, and a light dusting of flour. Press 3 sage leaves onto each piece, then cover with prosciutto. (10 minutes)

03

Step
30 mins

Refrigerate: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill. (30 minutes)

04

Step
1 hrs 35 mins

Simmer the Sauce: Chop pork trimmings (if using). In a pot, melt butter over medium-high heat until browned (4-5 minutes). Stir in broth, gelatin, and water. Simmer over medium-low heat until reduced by half, approximately 1 1/2 hours. Add more water as needed. (95 minutes)

05

Step
1 mins

Strain the Broth: Strain pork broth into a bowl.

06

Step
4 mins

Sear the Pork: Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear pork prosciutto-side down for 3 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 minute. Transfer to warm plates. (4 minutes)

07

Step
5 mins

Create the Wine Sauce: Blot excess oil from skillet. Add wine and pork broth. Cook over high heat until thickened, about 4-5 minutes. (5 minutes)

08

Step
1 mins

Serve: Spoon hot sauce over pork.

For a deeper flavor, consider marinating the pork in white wine and herbs for a few hours before cooking.
If you don't have pork trimmings, a touch of pancetta or bacon can add a similar depth to the sauce.
Adjust the amount of white wine and chicken broth based on your desired sauce consistency.
Serve immediately to prevent the prosciutto from becoming soggy.
