Chimichurri is one of Argentina’s biggest gifts to the world. Marinate extra lean pork tenderloin in this too-good-to-be-true Gaucho sauce for a dish that’ll keep everyone coming back for more.

For Spicy Chimichurri Sauce:

  • In a large bowl, combine all sauce ingredients and mix.

For the Pork:

  • Add olive oil to a large sauté pan and bring to a medium high heat. Place pork tenderloin in pan and season with salt & pepper.
  • Sear on both sides to achieve a golden brown crust, approximately 5 minutes on each side.
  • Once pork reaches an internal temperature between 145 degrees F. to 160 degrees F. (use a digital thermometer), remove from heat and serve with spicy chimichurri sauce.

Serve with green salad.
