- Salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp smoked paprika

Method
Step 1
Season the pork loin evenly with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
Step 2
Heat a grill or skillet over high heat. Cook the pork for 3–4 minutes per side, or until nicely browned and cooked through. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, sauté the garlic, red onion, and chili pepper (if using) for 1–2 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
Step 4
Add the Stingin' Hot Honey and cider vinegar. Whisk continuously and cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the mixture reduces to a glossy, syrup-like glaze.
Step 5
Season the glaze with a light pinch of salt and remove from the heat.
Step 6
Arrange the pork on a serving platter and generously spoon the hot honey glaze over top.
Step 7
Finish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Chef's Tip
Allow the glaze to reduce slowly until it coats the back of a spoon. This creates the perfect balance of sweetness, acidity, and heat while giving the pork a beautiful glossy finish.
