Practical Cooking Tips

Why This Dish Is Amazing
This dish offers a perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors that complement the tender pork beautifully. It’s quick to prepare and makes for a satisfying meal any day of the week. Plus, the combination of spices adds a delightful kick without being overpowering.
Step 1
Gently heat your grill to medium-high. While it’s warming up, slice the pork tenderloin into about nine pieces and give them a light brush of olive oil. Sprinkle on some freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 2
Place the pork slices on the grill and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until they’re no longer pink in the middle. Once done, transfer the meat to a plate and let it rest for around 5 minutes—that way, it stays juicy.
Step 3
While the pork is grilling, mix together the sugar, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, Dijon mustard, chopped onion, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and horseradish in a small saucepan. Heat it over medium, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is smooth and bubbling gently.
Step 4
When everything’s ready, spoon the sauce over the sliced pork and enjoy!

Best Foods To Serve With This
Serve this with steamed rice or roasted vegetables to soak up the flavorful sauce. A fresh green salad or sautéed greens also pair well, adding a light and refreshing contrast to the richness of the meat.
Keeping It Fresh
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to keep the pork moist, either in the oven or on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth.
