Asian-style pork tenderloin with sweet and sour sauce
Description
If you prepare this dish with fresh pineapple, sauté it first until golden brown – this will make the pineapple softer and more flavorful. The pork turns out tender and juicy, and when combined with the spicy sweet-and-sour sauce... Delicious!

Step 1
Rub the pork tenderloin on all sides with a mixture of paprika and Chinese spices (half of the total amount). Then tie the tenderloin tightly with kitchen twine—like a sausage. This is necessary for slicing the meat thinly later.

Step 2
Preheat a grill pan, brush it with sesame oil, and sear the tenderloin on all sides until browned. Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook the meat for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally. Check for doneness by piercing—the juice should be completely clear! Wrap the cooked meat in foil and keep it warm.
