Directions

1
Combine minced garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Coat the pork fillets in the marinade and let rest for 15 minutes.
2
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fillets, cover with a lid, and cook until all the juices released by the meat have evaporated.
3
Remove the lid and sear each side for 2–3 minutes until golden brown. Serve immediately.

💡 Chef's Tip

Add a sprig of fresh rosemary to the pan while searing for an extra layer of aroma.
