Tips:
- Use a lean cut of pork: Pork tenderloin or pork loin are both good choices, as they are relatively lean and will not produce a lot of grease.
- Pepper the pork generously: The pepper is what gives this dish its flavor, so don't be afraid to use a lot of it. While 1 tablespoon per pound of pork is the average recommendation, you can experiment to find what amount you like best.
- Cook the pork over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the pork while keeping the inside juicy.
- Let the pork rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the pork on pita bread with garlic sauce: This is a traditional way to serve peppered pork, and it's a delicious combination of flavors.
Conclusion:
Peppered pork pitas with garlic sauce is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great dish for entertaining, as it can be made ahead of time. The pork is tender and juicy, the peppercorns add a nice kick of flavor, and the garlic sauce is creamy and delicious. Serve this dish with a side of salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
