Cajun Pork Fillet Beer Sauce Recipes

CAJUN PORK FILLET & BEER SAUCE

Steps:

• Light the barbecue. Put all the spice mix ingredients in a mortar or blender and grind well. Chargrill the peppers on the barbie until black. When cool enough to handle, peel, seed, cut into finger-length strips and set aside.
• Dip the pork in the melted butter, then roll it in the spice mixture until well covered. Heat a heavy frying pan or griddle pan on the barbecue. Drizzle a little melted butter into the pan and fry the meat for 10 minutes, turning occasionally until slightly blackened.
• Remove the pork from the pan, wipe the pan with kitchen paper then return the pork to it. Drizzle over a little more melted butter, throw in the peppers and tomato sauce and pour over the beer. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick and coating the pork.
• Using tongs, remove the pork from the pan. Cut it into slices and arrange on a serving plate. Stir the sugar into the sauce and pour it over the pork. Scatter over the celery leaves or rocket, and serve.

CAJUN PORK TENDERLOIN WITH LAMBIC BEER SAUCE AND CHEESY SPAETZLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the spaetzle:
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, tarragon, salt, eggs, 1 cup water, and mustard. Stir vigorously until combined into a paste. If it's too thick, add just a bit more water until just smooth. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Hold a colander over the pot and, using a rubber spatula, press the batter through the holes into the water. Boil for 3 minutes, then drain. Transfer the spaetzle to a baking dish.
• For cheese sauce:
• In a large saucepan, over medium-low heat, whisk together the Parmesan cheese, mascarpone, goat cheese, salt, and half-and-half to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes. Whisk often to prevent burning. Pour the cheese sauce over the spaetzle and toss gently to coat. Dot the top with goat cheese and lay the prosciutto slices on top. Bake the spaetzle in the oven for 5 minutes to heat through. Set aside.
• For Lambic Beer Jus:
• Pour the beer into a saucepan and stir in the demi glace, sugar and a good pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook until reduced by 1/3.
• For the pork:
• Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Preheat a grill or grill pan.
• In a large bowl, combine the Cajun seasoning, cocoa, roasted garlic, sugar, and salt. Mix until well combined. Dredge the pork into the spice rub and grill for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the pork to a baking sheet and finish in the oven for about 10 minutes (5 minutes more for 2 tenderloins), or until cooked to medium and the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F. While the pork is finishing in the oven, slice the leeks into 1/4-inch rounds and rinse in a bowl of cold water to remove excess dirt. Drain and dry well. Fill a large, deep, heavy-bottomed saucepan, halfway with oil and heat over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F. Toss the leeks in flour and a pinch of salt. Deep fry the leeks in the hot oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Slice the pork loin and spoon the beer sauce over top and top with crispy leeks. Serve the spaetzle on the side.

CAJUN GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN W/ BOURBON-MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Wash the pork tenderloins and pat dry. Rub them generously with the Cajun rub.
• Preheat the grill on medium high heat. Place on grill for a few minutes on high. Sear until grill marks appear on all sides of the pork. Blackening will enhance the flavor.
• Turn the grill down to the lowest heat, or move to the side where they will only receive indirect heat. You want to set the grill to about 325 to 350°F Cover the grill, and let the pork cook for about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze by placing all ingredients in a small saucepan and bringing to a boil. Lower heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
• After 30 minutes on the grill (from Step 3), turn and baste the tenderloin with the bourbon-mustard glaze. Continue grilling for 15 minutes, turn and baste again, and continue grilling for 15 more minutes, for about an hour total.
• Insert a meat thermometer and when the pork reaches 150°F, remove to a platter. Cover with foil and let rest about 15 minutes. Slice and serve with extra glaze.
