Ingredients
Chimichurri Sauce
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
- 2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste
Grilled Pork Tenderloin
- 2 pork tenderloins about 1 pound each
- kosher salt
Instructions
Chimichurri Sauce
- Place chopped parsley, chopped oregano, minced garlic, crushed red pepper, a pinch of kosher salt, and red wine vinegar in a bowl and stir together.
- Add olive oil and let stand 15-20 minutes before serving.
Grilled Pork Tenderloin
- Place the pork tenderloins on a baking sheet or in a casserole dish. Salt them and let come to room temperature. (At least 30 minutes and up to two hours.) Meanwhile, heat a grill to medium high.
- Place pork tenderloins over direct, medium-high heat and grill about 6 minutes per side. Pork tenderloin has three sides, so this will total about 18 minutes. Cook to an internal temperature of 140 to 145 degrees. Let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Top with chimichurri sauce and serve.
Notes
- Pork tenderloin is very easy to grill. Remember that it actually has three sides. Cooking time will vary slightly according to size, but on average, I grill mine over medium-high heat about 6 minutes per side for a total of 18 minutes on the grill.
- The longer the chimichurri sauce sits, the spicier it will get, so if you don't like a lot of spice, start with less crushed red pepper. You can always add more.
