💡 Tips

  • Pat the pork dry before seasoning to help it sear properly and develop a crust.
  • Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking. Pull it off the grill at 145°F.
  • Let it rest! That 10-minute rest keeps all the juices from running out.
  • Preheat the grill thoroughly before adding the pork for even cooking.
  • If using a grill pan, heat it until it’s almost smoking before placing the pork on.
  • Keep the lid down while grilling to trap heat and create that perfect sear.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

  • Spice: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chimichurri for extra heat.
  • Vinegar: Swap lime juice with red wine vinegar for a tangier chimichurri.
  • Protein: Try it with grilled chicken or steak if you’re not in a pork mood.
  • Veggies: Serve it over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a low-carb meal.
  • Sauce: For a shortcut, use store-bought chimichurri, but homemade always tastes better.
  • Sandwiches: Slice leftovers thin and layer them into sandwiches, using your favorite low-carb bread, with extra sauce.

Why is My Pork Tenderloin Dry?

It was likely overcooked. Use a meat thermometer and pull it at exactly 145°F, then let it rest.

Can I Grill This Ahead of Time?

Yes, but it’s best fresh off the grill. If needed, reheat gently to avoid drying it out.

What if I Don’t Have a Grill?

Use a grill pan on the stovetop or roast it in the oven at 425°F until it hits 145°F.

Is Chimichurri Supposed to be Thick or Runny?

It’s somewhere in between; loose enough to spoon but thick with chopped herbs and garlic.

Why Does the Chimichurri Taste Bitter?

If should not taste bitter. If it does, it could be mean your olive oil has gone bad or that you are over-blending the herbs. Stick with super fresh olive oil and only give the herbs a rough chop for the best flavor.
