This is a pre-portioned cut of pork eye of round, a lean and tender section of the pork loin. It is wrapped in strips of bacon, which adds flavor and moisture during cooking. The bacon is typically raw and intended to cook alongside the pork.
This pork filet is a versatile choice for weeknight dinners or special occasions. It can be prepared using various cooking methods.
To prepare, remove the pork filet from its packaging. You can cook it directly from its refrigerated state. For best results, sear the filet in a hot skillet on all sides to brown the bacon and develop a crust. Then, you can finish cooking it in the oven at a moderate temperature until the pork reaches your desired level of doneness. Alternatively, it can be grilled or pan-fried entirely. Ensure the internal temperature reaches a safe level before serving.
Compared to unadorned pork eye of round, this version benefits from the added fat and saltiness of the bacon. The bacon helps to keep the inherently lean pork moist and imparts a smoky, savory flavor that complements the mild pork. It offers a more complex taste profile right out of the package.
Home cooks looking for a flavorful and easy-to-prepare pork dish will find this convenient.
Refrigerate this product immediately upon purchase. Keep it in its original packaging until ready to cook. Once opened, consume within a few days. If freezing, ensure it is well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
