Instructions:
- Start by creating the incredible Chimichurri Sauce:
- In a food processor, combine shallots, red wine vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and cumin. Give it a few pulses to blend and chop the ingredients, ensuring the shallots are about ¼ inch pieces.
- Add the cilantro and spinach to the processor and blend until the cilantro is chopped into roughly ¼ inch pieces. Set this vibrant sauce aside.
- Now, let's prepare the star of the show, the pork tenderloin:
- Trim the pork tenderloin and marinate it in two tablespoons of the chimichurri sauce for a glorious 30 minutes.
- While the flavors meld together, heat up your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the marinated pork for about 5-8 minutes on each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 150°F. You'll know it's ready when the aroma is irresistible!
- Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest off the fire for about 10 minutes. This step ensures that all the juicy goodness stays locked in.
- Slice your perfectly grilled pork tenderloin and serve it with a generous drizzle of the tantalizing chimichurri sauce on top.
Notes:
- For a delightful meal pairing, consider serving this dish with steamed rice and crushed black beans.
- Feel free to prepare the chimichurri sauce a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator.
- If you've got extra chimichurri sauce, don't hesitate to use it as a delicious accompaniment for grilled fish, chicken, or beef. It's a versatile flavor bomb!
- Get ready to savor the blend of tender pork, zesty herbs, and bold spices. Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Chimichurri Sauce will undoubtedly become a favorite in your recipe collection. Enjoy your culinary adventure!
