Grilled Pork Tenderloin

In a medium bowl, stir scallions, parsley, oil, garlic, vinegar, oregano, and red pepper; season with salt and black pepper.

Ingredients :

  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 Tbsp. packed brown sugar
  • 2 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 lb. pork tenderloin
  • Herb Sauce
  • 2 scallions, white and pale green parts only, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh oregano leaves
  • 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Directions :

  1. In a small bowl, whisk lemon zest, brown sugar, paprika, cumin, and salt. Stir in oil to create a paste. Spread paste all over pork.
  2. Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; preheat 5 minutes, or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill pork, turning occasionally with tongs, until charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 145°, about 20 minutes. (For larger tenderloins, bake in a 400º oven until desired temperature is reached, 15 to 25 minutes more.) Let rest 10 minutes.
