INGREDIENTS

• 1 1b pork fillet (tenderloin)
• 1 tbsp butter
• 3 tbsp sparkling dry (hard) cider or dry white wine
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup crème fraîche or whipping cream
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh mixed herbs, such as marjoram, thyme and sage
• 3 oz. Camembert cheese, sliced
• 1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
• ground black pepper
• fresh parsley, to garnish

DIRECTIONS

• Slice the pork fillet crossways into small steaks about 3/4 in. thick. Place between two sheets of clear film (plastic wrap) and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet or roll with a rolling pin to flatten to a thickness of 1/2 in. Sprinkle with pepper.
• Melt the butter in a heavy frying pan over a medium-high heat until it begins to brown, then add the meat. Cook for 5 minutes, turning once, or until just cooked through and the meat is springy when pressed. Transfer to a warmed dish and cover to keep warm.
• Add the cider or wine and bring to the boil, scraping the base of the pan. Stir in the cream and herbs and bring back to the boil.
• Add the cheese and mustard and any accumulated juices from the meat. Stir until the cheese melts. Add a little more cream if needed and adjust the seasoning. Serve the pork with the sauce and garnish with parsley. Variation: Any creamy cheese that is not too soft can be used instead of Camembert. Try Cambazola or Brie for a change, or perhaps a blue cheese for added flavor.
