The dish tastes great when fried, but in this recipe we will consider an equally delicious way to cook on the grill.

With a magical combination of brown sugar, cumin, paprika and lemon zest, this is honestly one of our all-time favorite pork recipes.

It won't take long to grill, but it will depend on how big your tenderloin is, as they vary in size. Check it with a thermometer to make sure it's not overcooked and is juicy and tender.

While it's roasting, make the herb sauce. It's necessary? Probably no. But it's amazing and makes everything 1000% tastier. Finish your meal with grilled vegetables like asparagus or zucchini for a delicious summer dinner.

Рецепт

Pork tenderloin:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, brown sugar, paprika, cumin and salt. Add oil to make a paste. Spread the paste all over the pork.

2. Grill to medium-high, preheat for 5 minutes, or heat a grill pan over medium heat.

3. Roast the pork, turning occasionally with tongs, until cooked through and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 63°, about 20 minutes. (Bake large tenderloins in the oven at 200°C until the desired temperature is reached, 15 to 25 more minutes.) Let rest 10 minutes.

Herbal Sauce:

1. In a medium bowl, combine finely chopped green onion, parsley, oil, finely chopped garlic, vinegar, oregano, and red pepper; season with salt and black pepper.

2. Cut the pork and put on a plate.

3. Top with herb sauce and serve.
