I’ll be honest, pork loin isn’t one of my favorite cuts of meat. As is the case with all lean cuts of meat, it tends to dry out quickly. Unless we’re grilling pork tenderloin or wrapping it in bacon, I don’t ever reach for it when I’m in the supermarket. THIS recipe however? Total game changer. It cooks in a fraction of the time it would take to roast in the oven and delivers the most perfect juicy, tender meat. So much so that even my pork-hating daughter had seconds!
Ingredients and Substitutions
Pork tenderloin/pork fillet. Ask your butcher to remove the silver skin/sinew. Extra virgin olive oil. Any vegetable oil of your choice can be substituted, I also love cooking with avocado oil. Spice mixture: Salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano. Onion powder, cumin and herbs like sage and thyme are also delicious with pork. You could add brown sugar to the mix if you wanted a more caramelized exterior. Fresh lemon juice.
