Frequently Asked Questions
If you want to avoid using beer, you can substitute it with chicken or vegetable broth for a similar flavor. Alternatively, non-alcoholic beer can also work well.
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the pork in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 2 months.
If your pork tenderloin turns out dry, you can moisten it by adding a bit of broth or the leftover cooking sauce when reheating. Ensure not to overcook the pork during the initial cooking to prevent dryness in the future.
