Ingredients

  • 200g Pork Tenderloin
  • 255g pearl barley
  • 80g green beans
  • 80g courgette
  • 15g balsamic vinegar
  • 5g honey
  • 3g garlic
  • 5g olive oil
  • 30g goat's cheese
  • 15g walnuts
  • 20g rocket

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the green beans and courgette, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Simmer the pearl barley for 25-30 minutes until plump and chewy, then drain.

  3. 3

    Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides, then roast at 200°C for 15-18 minutes until it reaches 63°C inside. Rest before slicing into medallions.

  4. 4

    Simmer the balsamic vinegar with honey and garlic for 2-3 minutes until syrupy. Drizzle over the protein and veg.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the green beans and courgette for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the bowl: pearl barley first, then the veg and pork tenderloin, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the rocket.

  7. 7

    Bulking upgrade: add the goat's cheese, walnuts for extra energy-dense calories.
