Father\u2019s Day Meal with SA Pork<\/h3>\n

THE MYTH:<\/strong> Pork has to be cooked and served well done.
\nTHE TRUTH:<\/strong> Pork can actually be enjoyed blushing pink and juicy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

How to Prepare Your Pork Fillet<\/h4>\n

First off, you want to trim your pork fillet of any silver skin\/sinewy bits. Simply lift the silver skin and run a sharp knife along the base and then discard.<\/p>\n

Mixing the Dry Rub<\/h4>\n

Smoky flavours work well with pork, so we\u2019ve created a dry rub of some of our favourite flavours like cumin, garlic and smoked paprika to name a few. Mix the rub together to combine all the spices evenly.<\/p>\n

Brush the pork fillet with olive oil and then generously apply the rub, rolling the fillet to evenly coat all sides.<\/p>\n

The Cooking<\/h4>\n

Heat a cast iron pan and grill the marinated pork fillet. Caramelise the crust of dry spices for 1 minute per side, building charred flavour. Be sure to check the pork with a digital thermometer by inserting at the thickest part. You are looking for the pork to be about 60-61 \u00baC, then remove it from the pan.<\/p>\n

While it rests it will rise another couple of degrees and will still be blushing pink when sliced at 62-63\u00ba C. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve on a bed of silky onions and mushrooms that you prepared as the pork was resting with the dry rub.<\/p>\n
