This is a simple recipe I learned to make for my husband. You can add a bay leaf to the marinating process but I usually forget to add it and it still tastes yummy!

Categories     Pork

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 kg pork loin fillets - thinly sliced by your butcher
2 large white onions, sliced in rings
4 clove garlic, finely chopped/crushed
1 Tbsp crushed chilis
1 Tbsp course sea salt
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1/2 c red wine vinegar + 2 tablespoons for cooking process
1/2 c sunflower oil (or vegatable oil will do)

Steps:

  • 1. In a pyrex casserole, sprinkle half of the chopped garlic, pepper flakes, salt and a dash of vinegar.
  • 2. Layer with the fillets and alternate the ingredients between layers. Cover and place in the fridge over night or in an hour if to be made on same day.
  • 3. Heat up the oil in a heavy pan at medium heat. Lower if the first fillet starts splashing too much.
  • 4. Preheat the oven at 350 degrees.
  • 5. Place as many fillets in the pan and let cook about 4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
  • 6. When the first batch of fillets are cooked place in a casserole and put in the warm oven.
  • 7. Once all fillets are fried, place the sliced onion in the pan with the same oil used for the fillets on medium heat.
  • 8. Once onions are browned, add the tomato paste and stir until the oil has a red tinge. Pour about 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar and let it burn off for about 2 minutes. Take off heat.
  • 9. Remove the fillets from the oven and pour the onion mixture over the fillets. You may put in the oven on BROIL for 2 minutes to caramelize the onion.
  • 10. Serve the fillets in a toasted and crusty bun.
