Directions

Chimichurri:

Ingredients

6 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
2 jalapenos, seeded and minced
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
About 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
About 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
3 limes, juiced
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each), trimmed of excess fat, patted dry
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
Lime juice, for drizzling
Parsley sprigs, for garnish

Combine the garlic, jalapeno and vinegar in a bowl. Stir in the parsley, oregano, and lime juice. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside at room temperature to allow the flavors to marry.

Reserve 1/2 cup of the chimichurri to serve and marinate the pork in the rest. Put the pork and marinade in a sealable plastic bag and set aside in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Preheat an outdoor charcoal grill or oven broiler to high.

Remove the pork from the marinade, wiping off any excess. Season both sides with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and place on the grill. Grill the pork on the hottest part of the barbecue for 4 minutes per side, until well charred. Allow the tenderloin to rest for about 5 minutes prior to slicing. Spoon some chimichurri over the meat, drizzle with lime juice, garnish with parsley, and serve with the remaining sauce at the table.

Delightful
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was fabulous. Next time, I will marinate overnight to heighten the flavor even more. Also, we cooked them on our gas... grill. Ours needed longer than 4 minutes per side. Served this with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and oven roasted veggies and ciabatta bread...my guests and I were happy!Read more

Absolutely perfect!! Love the Chimichurri sauce!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is so amazing, as I was making the Chimichurri sauce I was wondering if I should use it. I was having doubts.. BUT... Tylers recipes are always rock solid, so I did... Next time I will double the sauce, and use it to dip french bread in.. It really is AMAZING.. The pork was juicy and tender... This one is in my recipe box marked as LOVED IT! Read more
