Joe Wicks’ Bashed pork, red pepper mayo and almonds recipe
JOE Wicks is giving Sun readers an exclusive look at his new recipes and fave exercises to celebrate the upcoming release of his third book Lean in 15: The Sustain Plan.
Your daily meal choices will depend on whether you have completed one of Joe’s workouts that day or are having a rest day.
On workout days you must choose one post-workout, carbohydrate re-fuel meal, two reduced-carbohydrate meals and two snacks.
If you complete a workout in the morning, opt for a high-carb breakfast. If you sweat through exercise after work, choose a high-carb meal for dinner.
On rest days you can choose any three reduced-carb meals and two snacks.

Joe says: “Pork tenderloin can sometimes be a bit dry, but not when you cook it in butter and add this amazing red pepper mayo.
"I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you try this one.”

Method
Place the pork between two pieces of clingfilm or baking parchment on a chopping board.
Using a rolling pin, meat mallet or any other blunt instrument, bash the meat until each piece is about 1cm thick.
Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat.
Season the pork with salt and pepper and, when the butter is bubbling, gently lay the pork steaks in the pan. Fry for about three minutes on each side, or until cooked through – you can check this by slicing into a thick part of the meat to make sure it is white all the way through - no raw pink bits, remember.
While the pork is cooking, place the mayonnaise, red peppers and garlic in a small blender and blitz until smooth.
When the pork is cooked, remove to a plate and dab with a little kitchen roll to remove some of the fat.
Arrange the steaks on your plate, top with the rocket and almonds and then drizzle over the mayonnaise.
Serve up with a sunny smile and a squeeze of lemon.
