Instructions

  1. 1 Remove silvery membrane from tenderloin with a sharp knife; reserve trimmings. Cut the small "head" pieces of tenderloin where there is a natural separation; reserve. (This is optional.) Chop reserved trimmings very fine; set aside.
  2. 2 Cut tenderloin in half crosswise to make 2 equal portions. Cut each half in half lengthwise to make 4 pieces. Transfer to a bowl; refrigerate until needed.
  3. 3 Melt butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Add reserved trimmings; cook and stir until caramelized and nicely browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in broth and gelatin, then stir in water; simmer and stir over medium or medium-low heat until liquid is reduced by half, about 1 ½ hours. Add more water if it reduces too quickly.
  4. 4 Meanwhile, place pork sections between two pieces of heavy plastic wrap on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound to a thickness of about ¼- to ⅛-inch thick. Remove top sheet of plastic wrap; flip each piece pork. Season generously with salt and black pepper; dust very lightly with about 2 teaspoons flour. Flip each piece pork; sprinkle with black pepper. Press 3 sage leaves onto surface of each piece pork; cover completely with prosciutto, cutting or tearing strips to fit. A bit of overlap is okay.
  5. 5 Return sheet of plastic wrap over pork; pound very lightly to make sure prosciutto sticks to pork pieces. Transfer to a plate; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
  6. 6 Strain pork broth into a bowl; discard solids.
  7. 7 Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat until shimmering. Place pork pieces into the skillet, prosciutto-side down; cook about 3 minutes. Carefully flip pieces; cook 1 minute more. Remove skillet from the heat. Transfer pork to warm serving plates.
  8. 8 Blot excess oil from the skillet with paper towels. Add wine and pork broth; cook over high heat until thickens and reduces by about half, 4 to 5 minutes.
  9. 9 Spoon hot sauce over pork.

  2. 2 The next morning place tenderloin, garlic, thyme, and rosemary into a sous vide vacuum bag and seal using a vacuum sealer. Refrigerate until you are ready to sous vide.
  3. 3 Attach sous vide cooker to a heat-proof container of water and set temperature to 133 degrees F (56 degrees C). Sous vide until tenderloin has reached the desired temperature, 2 1/2 to 3 hours, depending on thickness.
  4. 4 About 30 minutes pour water in a metal bowl and sprinkle gelatin powder on top. Allow to sit for 30 minutes until gelatin blooms. Set on top of a double boiler over simmering water and stir until a clear liquid forms. Do not allow to boil.
  5. 5 Remove tenderloin from sous vide, pat dry, and let rest while preparing the gravy.
  6. 6 Pour au jus liquids from the sous vide bag into a sauce pan. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons butter and red wine. Add as much of the bloomed gelatin as you like depending on desired thickness and whisk until well combined. Season gravy with salt, pepper, and herbs to taste.
  7. 7 Heat cast iron pan to medium-high. Brush tenderloin with olive oil and sear in the hot pan until browned all over, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Melt extra butter in the pan as desired. Remove from pan, tent with foil, and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  8. 8 Slice tenderloin and serve with gravy.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a large piece of parchment paper over the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Make sure it is taught, then clip on the rim and cut off the excess parchment paper. Grease the sides.
  2. 2 Beat egg yolks, warm water, and sugar for sponge base in a bowl with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Mix in vanilla extract.
  3. 3 Mix cake flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl. Sift over egg yolk mixture and fold in thoroughly until no lumps remain.
  4. 4 Beat egg whites and salt in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold into the sponge batter using a spatula. Pour into the prepared pan and even out the surface with a spatula or a large knife.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove sponge cake from the pan and carefully peel off parchment. Cool on a wire rack.
  6. 6 Whip heavy cream for filling in a bowl with an electric mixer until stiff. Refrigerate.
  7. 7 Pour water into a small heat-proof bowl and sprinkle gelatin over top. Set aside.
  8. 8 Beat Greek yogurt, sugar, and lemon juice in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until sugar is fully dissolved.
  9. 9 Add water to a small saucepan to a 1-inch depth. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Lower the bowl with the gelatin into the water, making sure no water spills into it. Stir until the gelatin is liquid and fully dissolved. Remove the bowl with the gelatin with kitchen tongs.
  10. 10 Add 1 tablespoon of the yogurt mixture immediately to the gelatin and stir until completely incorporated. Add 4 to 5 more tablespoons the same way until the gelatin mix is cooled; it should be smooth and not contain any lumps. Transfer the gelatin mixture into the yogurt mixture and beat with an electric mixer until well blended.
  11. 11 Fold whipped cream into the yogurt mixture until well blended. You may also give it a quick whisk with an electric mixer to blend the two, as long as you don't overmix.
  12. 12 Cut the sponge cake horizontally into 2 equally thick layers. Grease the sides of the springform pan and place the bottom sponge cake back into it. If the sponge shrunk during baking, push it down gently so it completely fills the pan. Pour the filling into the pan and even it out with a knife or a spatula. Place the second layer on top, with the cut side down. Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours.
  13. 13 Remove cake from the refrigerator. Dip a large knife in cold water and run it all around the filling to loosen. Carefully remove the rim. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

  3. 3 Meanwhile, combine 3 cups sugar and remaining ¾ cup lemon juice in a large saucepan over medium heat; attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan and stir until sugar has dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Increase heat until mixture reaches a low boil; boil until thermometer reads 240 degrees F (115 degrees C), 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat. (The liquid will bubble a lot; you may need to remove the saucepan from the heat to let the bubbles settle, so you can see if the sugar has melted.)

Gradually increase speed to medium-high; beat until batter ribbons that drip from beaters take 2 seconds to sink back into the bowl, 10 to 15 minutes.
