Steps to Prepare Pork Loin with Cherry Tomatoes and Crispy Speck
Start by placing the pork loin slices in a large non-stick pan, lightly salt them, and distribute the halved cherry tomatoes (washed and dried) on top. Lightly salt them as well, add the oil, cover with a lid, and place on the stovetop over medium heat to cook.
Meanwhile, while the pork loin begins to cook, cut the speck into thin strips and then into small pieces, place it in a non-stick pan, set over low heat, and stir until it is crispy. Then turn off the heat and place the speck on paper towels to drain and remain crispy.
When the pork loin is halfway cooked, remove the lid, pour in the beer, and increase the heat. Let it cook, stirring occasionally, until the beer has evaporated and only a nice sauce created by the cherry tomatoes remains. Then serve hot, topping with the previously prepared crispy speck.
