Ingredients

• 1 lb pork tenderloin
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup ketchup-style chili sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce such as Tabasco
• 1 cup water
• Accompaniment: coleslaw

Instructions

1. Trim pork of excess fat and silver skin, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Cut each slice into 3 strips.
2. Cook onion in oil in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add ketchup, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, hot sauce, and water and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
3. Add pork and simmer, covered, until pork is cooked through and tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer pork with a slotted spoon to a bowl and cover to keep warm. Boil remaining sauce, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Pour sauce over pork.
