- ½ tablespoon lemon pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Get out and measure your ingredients.
- Allow pork to come to room temp before cooking. (About 20 minutes) this assures an even cook and tender/ juicy flavor.
