Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Cut the pork tenderloins into 1 1/2 inch slices, then gently flatten each slice slightly with the heel of your hand. Sprinkle the salt evenly over the bottom of a heavy (cast iron) frypan and place it over moderately high heat. |
| 2 | Once the salt is hot, add the pork slices to the pan. Reduce the heat to moderately low and allow the pork to brown, approximately 15 minutes on each side. |
| 3 | In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco sauce. Pour this mixture over the browned pork slices in the pan. |
| 4 | In a separate small saucepan, heat the brandy until warm. Carefully ignite the brandy with a match, being cautious of any flammable materials nearby. Once ignited, quickly pour the flaming brandy over the pork in the pan. Allow the flames to die down. |
| 5 | Cover the pan and simmer the pork for 5 minutes over low heat. |
| 6 | While the pork is simmering, prepare the pears by slicing them thinly. Arrange the pear slices around the pork in the pan and baste them with the sauce. Cover the pan again and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes. |
| 7 | Once cooked, serve the Pork Tenderloin Flambe with Pears hot, alongside your favorite sides such as asparagus and boiled, buttered, and parsleyed baby potatoes. Enjoy the delicious flavors and the impressive presentation! |
