How to prepare your Kurobuta Pork neck
Step 1: Thaw the Pork
• Thawing helps the pork cook evenly and retain moisture.
• How:
1. Place the frozen pork fillet (still in its packaging) in a large bowl of cold water. Change the water every 30 minutes to speed up thawing. This should take around 2-3 hours for a 1.2 kg fillet.
2. Alternatively, you can thaw it in the fridge overnight if you’re not in a rush.
Step 2: Preheat the Oven
• Set your oven to 180°C and allow it to fully preheat while you prep the pork.
Step 3: Prepare the Pork Fillet
• Adding a simple rub or seasoning enhances flavor and creates a tasty crust.
• How:
1. Pat the thawed pork fillet dry with paper towels.
2. Rub the pork with olive oil to help the seasoning stick and promote browning.
3. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and any other simple flavours you like (such as garlic powder, rosemary, or thyme).
Step 4: Sear the Pork
• Searing locks in juices and adds flavor with a golden-brown crust.
• How:
1. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a large oven-safe skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
2. Once hot, sear the pork fillet on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Step 5: Roast the Pork
• Slow roasting finishes cooking the pork through evenly.
• How:
1. Transfer the skillet (or place the pork on a baking tray) into the preheated oven.
2. Roast for 20-25 minutes per 500g, so for your 1.2 kg fillet, aim for 45-50 minutes in total.
3. Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. The pork should reach 63°C for a perfectly juicy, medium-rare finish.
Step 6: Rest the Pork
• Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist.
• Remove the pork from the oven, cover it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 7: Slice and Serve
• Slice the pork thinly against the grain and serve with your favourite sides, like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
