About the dish

From the meat chapter of "Stor kokebok" (1914). The tenderloin is larded with fatback and marinated in red wine with root vegetables and herbs overnight – a well-known technique for making lean pork juicy.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Clean and lard

    Cut away all fat and membrane from the tenderloin and lard it with fine strips of fatback.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    Pour the red wine over the meat along with onion, parsley, celery greens, pepper, and salt. Let it sit overnight.

  3. 3

    Brown the meat

    Take up the tenderloin, pat it lightly dry, and brown it in butter.

  4. 4

    Steam tender

    Pour the wine into the pan little by little along with the meat stock, and let the meat steam in the oven or over low heat for about 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Make the sauce

    Brown 60 g butter, stir in 40 g wheat flour, and thin with the pan juices from the roasting plus 1 dl cream. Cook the sauce together well.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Pour the sauce over the tenderloin when serving. Serve with fried tomatoes, pea purée, fried potatoes, and fruit jelly.
