It is amazing how easy it is sometimes, to get inspired to make something in the kitchen. I was watching the TV the other day and I saw the new ad of Knorr’s that is running currently. In the ad, Marco Pierre White a UK Chef dissolves a knorr cube in couple of tbsp of olive oil and then rubs couple of chicken cutlets and cooks them on a skillet.
From the moment I saw that, it was haunting me to make something similar! I don’t know why, but the whole idea just sounded so interesting.
The perfect moment came two weeks ago, when we had the snow storm for which I told you in my previous post. The fireplace was on and I thought it would be fun to bbq something in there.
Needless to say how delicious the pork was. It was so good that my husband and son insisted on making something similar next day as well. Although Chef White uses the cube and olive oil, I just wanted to make something a little more complicated than that, so I ended up with this and it was purely divine and easy. What more can I ask for?
Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients
500 gr. pork tenderloin
4 tbsp olive oil
1 vegetable bouillon cube
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tbsp honey
¼ tsp paprika
Instructions
In a bowl we dissolve the cube to the olive oil and add the rest of the ingredients.
We put the bowl in the microwave and cook for 30 seconds in the high temperature.
When we take it out we whisk and this becomes like a jelly.
We take the pork tenderloin, cut it in 3cm thick pieces and we put it in the bowl to marinade from 2 hours to overnight.
I didn’t have so much time and let it stay for an hour and it was still delicious!
Then place it in under the broiler or better yet on BBQ, or as I did in the fireplace.
I cooked it for about 5 minutes per side, but this depends entirely on the fire.
I accompanied it with potato puree and it was super delicious!

Χοιρινό Ψαρονέφρι με Γλάσο Μπαλσάμικου και Κύβου Λαχανικών
Author/ Συγγραφέας: Κατερίνα
Recipe type/ Τύπος Πιάτου: Κυρίως Πιάτο
Cuisine/ Κουζίνα: Διεθνής
Ingredients/ Συστατικά
- 500 γρ. χοιρινό ψαρονέφρι
- 4 κ.σ. ελαιόλαδο
- 1 κύβο λαχανικών
- 2 κ.σ. balsamico ξύδι
- 1 κ.γ. τριμμένο κόλιανδρο
- 1 κ.σ. μέλι
- ¼ κ.γ. πάπρικα
Instructions/ Εκτέλεση
- Σε ένα γυάλινο μπολ διαλύστε τον κύβο με το ελαιόλαδο και προσθέστε τα υπόλοιπα συστατικά.
- Βάλτε το μπολ στο φούρνο μικροκυμάτων για 30 δευτερόλεπτα στην υψηλή θερμοκρασία.
- Βγάλτε και ανακατέψτε γρήγορα, αυτό θα γίνει σαν ζελέ.
- Πάρτε το ψαρονέφρι και κόψτε το σε κομμάτια με πάχος 3 cm και βάλτε τα στο μπωλ για να μαριναριστούν από 2 ώρες έως όλη τη νύχτα.
- Εγώ επειδή δεν είχα χρόνο τα άφησα μόνο μία ώρα και πάλι έγιναν πολύ νόστιμα!
- Στη συνέχεια βάλτε τα στο γριλ ή ακόμα καλύτερα στο μπάρμπεκιου, ή όπως έκανα εγώ στο τζάκι.
- Εγώ τα έψησα για 5 περίπου λεπτά ανά πλευρά, αλλά αυτό εξαρτάται από τη φωτιά.
- Το συνόδευσα με πουρές πατάτας και ήταν σούπερ νόστιμο!
