$29 • The kitchen at Vuz Restaurant & Vuda Bar works wonders with high-end Kurobuta pork.

Rather than searing it over high heat, Vuz braises the pork. This slow-cooking method renders the meat fork-tender, and the juices imbue the accompanying white beans with rich pork flavor.

Baby golden beets and steamed asparagus add color, and a nubbin of goat cheese gives the dish some punch.

Vuz is at 12234 S. Draper Gate Drive (1350 East), Draper; 801-617-8600. It is open Monday to Thursday, 5 to 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 4 p.m. to midnight; Sunday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
