Chimichurri isn't just for flank steak, it works equally well on cumin rubbed roasted pork tenderloin. Very good with roasted potatoes as the side dish...chimchurri is good on hot potatoes too!
Ingredients
- 2 pork tenderloins (they come packed in pairs at my grocer) shopping list
- 1 tsp of granulated garlic shopping list
- 1/2 tsp of smoked paprika shopping list
- 1/2 tsp of cumin shopping list
- 1 tsp of salt shopping list
- 1/2 tsp of pepper shopping list
- some olive oil-about two tbsps. shopping list
- Sauce shopping list
- 1/4 cup of olive oil shopping list
- 2/3 cup of sherry vinegar (if you don't have sherry vinegar, you can sub 1/2 cup of red wine vinegar with 2 tbsp of dry sherry added) shopping list
- 1 cup of parsley, stems removed shopping list
- 1 bunch of green onions, with the green tops shopping list
- 1 tsp of dried oregano shopping list
- 1 lemon juiced, about 3 tbsp. shopping list
- 6 cloves of garlic shopping list
- 1 pinch of red pepper flakes shopping list
- salt and pepper shopping list
- potatoes shopping list
- 6 russets, scrubbed peeled, cut in one inch chunks shopping list
- 1/4 cup of oil shopping list
- 1 tbsp of kosher salt shopping list
- 1/2 tsp of ground black pepper shopping list
- 1 tsp of chili powder shopping list
- 1/2 tsp of cumin powder shopping list
- foil lined baking sheet shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Prep potatoes first since they take the longest.
- Toss the potatoes with the oil, salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder.
- Place on foil lined baking sheet in a single layer and start roasting.
- Total time in oven for potatoes about 40.
- Next, pat the pork tenderloins dry, and remove any silver skin or fat from the tenderloins.
- Mix the granulated garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt and pepper with some oil and rub over the tenderloins.
- Let sit about 10 minutes room temperature.
- Heat your cast iron skillet.
- Brown the tenderloins about a minute or two per side.
- When brown, put the tenderloins in the hot oven with the potatoes and roast for 20 minutes for medium/med-well.
- While the pork tenderloin and potatoes roast, make your chimichurri sauce.
- Blend all the sauce ingredients in your blender (coarsely cut the green onions before you blend them so they don't clog up the blender-take it from me...you want a sauce-not strings of onion). Allow it to sit at room temperature. If it seems too thick to be a sauce, add a bit more oil.
- Pull pork from oven, let it rest at least five minutes.
- Slice and serve with potatoes and drizzle chimichurri over all.
- White wine sangria is a lovely drink to have with this dinner.
