Steps
To prepare the PORK TENDERLOIN WITH HONEY AND SPECK, start by trimming the tenderloin slices to remove any excess fat.
Then wrap each slice with a slice of speck and secure everything with kitchen twine.
In a large pan put a drizzle of oil and the butter. Melt over low heat and add the rosemary.Place the tenderloin slices in the pan and quickly brown them on both sides.
Deglaze with the dry white wine and let it evaporate.
Add the honey, adjust salt and pepper and cook for a very short time.
The tenderloin should remain slightly pink but not bloody.Remove from the pan and let rest for 2 to 3 minutes so that the juices redistribute inside the meat, keeping it tender.
Plate the pork tenderloin with honey and speck, spoon over the cooking juices and garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary, some marjoram and a side dish of your choice.
