Ingredients

Compound Butter:

  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons drained and finely chopped oil-packed sundried tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh sage
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • Pinch Cajun spice
  • Pinch salt

Pork:

Asparagus:

  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

For the compound butter: In a bowl, combine the softened butter with the sundried tomatoes, sage, parsley, Cajun spice, and salt. Whisk together until well blended. Transfer the mixture to a piece of parchment paper and roll into a cigar shape about 1 1/2 inches thick. Refrigerate until ready to use.

For the pork: Slice the loin into 3/4-inch thick slices, and then one by one, cover with plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until each slice is flat and even (about a 1/4-inch thick).

Season the flour with salt and pepper, and then dredge the pork in the seasoned flour.

Heat the oil in a heavy bottom saucepan over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Once the oil has heated, add the floured pork to the pan and allow to cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the heat, flip, add some thyme and parsley, and repeat the process on the second side until finished cooking, 2 to 3 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the pan and keep warm. Repeat the process until all the pork is cooked.

For the asparagus: Bring a pot of water to a boil and add salt. Trim the woody bottoms of the asparagus and peel the stalks. Blanch in the boiling water until bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the water and season with salt and pepper.

Place asparagus in the center of a serving plate, arrange the pieces of cooked pork on top, and top with a 1/4-inch disk of sundried tomato butter. Garnish with parsley. Store the remaining butter wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator.

    This is a real 5 star meal!!!! I didn't change the recipe at all and all was devoured. The flavors on the pork were amazing using the herbs and the butter. Can hardly wait to prepare again!!

    Awesome, very good recipe! I loved the asparagus. I would also add a Mesclun Salad with Shallot Vinagrettte as a side to this dish. Definately will become one of our stand-by entertaining recipes!
