Given the choice, in my next life, I would be a hammerhead shark. First of all, how AWESOME would I look? I'd have impeccable eye sight, and I'd be quite nimble. Fresh seafood for dinner every day doesn't sound like a bad deal. People would admire me as much as they feared me. Mhmm. The dream.
While these are all reasonable thoughts to have during Shark Week, one thing that would NOT rock about being a hammerhead shark would be lack of THIS delicious meal in my life. In my belly, all day.
Pork Tenderloin with Fire Roasted Red Pepper Sauce is a simple dinner that is dressed to impress. This sauce -- oh baby! -- it is smokey and slightly sweet, the perfect compliment to a perfectly roasted pork tenderloin, golden brown on the outside and juicy on the inside.
I love pork as an interesting alternative to chicken. You can get a lot of pork for not a lot of bucks, which is a huge plus! With a pork tenderloin, my favorite preparation goes something like this: season with salt, pepper, paprika and onion powder --> sear on all sides in a screamin' hot cast iron skillet --> roast in the oven until the inside temperature reaches 160 degrees.
Of course, I will never make a pork tenderloin again without this rich, delicious red pepper sauce. I poured it over my entire plate, self control is not an option here. I can't think of too many things I WOULDN'T slather in it! And isn't the color just gorgeous? I'm craving a big bite of this dinner just thinking about; time to put pork tenderloin and roasted red pepper sauce on your dinner menu this week!
