-
- 3 medium white peaches
- 40ml white wine
- 40ml lemon juice
- 3.5 Tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 pinch of salt

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Cut the pork tenderloin into steak-sized portions. Gently pat the surface dry with paper towels. Then, use a meat mallet or the back of a knife to lightly pound both sides of the pork. This tenderizing step ensures a wonderfully soft texture when you bite into the steak.
Step 2
Sprinkle the tenderized pork tenderloin evenly with 1 Tbsp of cooking wine (or mirin) to remove any gaminess. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Let the pork rest for a moment to allow the seasonings to penetrate.
Step 3
Wash the green beans thoroughly. Blanch them in boiling water with a pinch of salt for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, just until they turn bright green and are slightly tender-crisp. Avoid overcooking, as you want them to retain their crunch. Drain the blanched green beans and immediately rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Pat them dry completely.
Step 4
Prepare the fresh, sweet white peaches, which are in season. Choosing ripe, high-quality peaches is key to achieving a delicious peach sauce.
Step 5
Peel the white peaches thinly, remove the pits, and chop them into manageable pieces. Place the chopped peaches into a blender container.
Step 6
Blend the peaches until they form a smooth, lump-free puree. This forms the base of our vibrant sauce.
Step 7
Pour the smooth peach puree into a saucepan or skillet. Add the white wine and lemon juice, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once it starts to bubble, reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the sugar. The amount of sugar can be adjusted based on the sweetness of your peaches. Stir continuously as it simmers and thickens to your desired consistency – it should be slightly syrupy but not too thin.
Step 8
While the peach sauce is simmering, coat the seasoned pork tenderloin with tempura flour on both sides. This coating will help the steak become crispy and will also bind beautifully with the sauce. Ensure an even coating of the flour.
Step 9
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Once the butter is sizzling, carefully place the flour-coated pork tenderloin into the pan.
Step 10
Sear the pork tenderloin, allowing each side to develop a beautiful golden-brown crust. Aim for a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
Step 11
When the pork is almost cooked through, add the prepared green beans to the skillet. Sauté them along with the pork for a minute or two. The green beans will absorb some of the delicious pan juices.
Step 12
Pour 4 to 5 tablespoons of the well-reduced peach sauce over the pork and green beans in the skillet. You can adjust the amount of sauce to your preference.
Step 13
Increase the heat to high and quickly toss everything together for about 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the pork and green beans beautifully. This will create a glossy finish and intensify the flavors.
Step 14
Plate the deliciously cooked Peach Pork Steak attractively. Garnish with peach slices and green beans as desired. Just before serving, drizzle a little extra warm peach sauce over the top for an enhanced flavor. Enjoy this wonderful homemade meal that’s perfect for a special dinner!
