Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook pork tenderloin slices in hot skillet in batches until browned on each side, about 10 minutes per batch. Arrange chops in a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 3

Pour ketchup into a bowl. Slowly drizzle cola into ketchup, whisking until combined (mixture will foam). Pour ketchup mixture over pork and season with black pepper. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
