Pork Porterhouse

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Pork

    Generously season the Duroc pork porterhouse with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Pork

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make the Calvados Apple Cream Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the butter and diced apples. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the apples start to soften. Carefully add the Calvados and allow it to reduce by half.

  4. 4

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the rested pork porterhouse and serve with the Calvados apple cream sauce drizzled on top.
