Ingredients
- 6 tbsp olive oil, divided

- ⅔ cup fresh cilantro leaves, divided
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper
- 1 (1lb) pork tenderloin, trimmed
- ¾ tsp kosher salt, divided

- 1 tbsp fresh oregano leaves
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp sherry vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 shallot, chopped
Instructions
- Combine 2 tbsp oil, 1/4 cup parsley, 1/3 cup cilantro, cumin, and crushed red pepper in a shallow dish. Add pork. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to marinate in the fridge for 1 hour, turning once.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Sprinkle the pork with 1/2 tsp salt and black pepper. Cook pork on cooking spray-coated grill for about 8 minutes. Turn over and cook for an additional 7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145˚F. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice pork crosswise.
- Place remaining 3/4 cup parsley, 1/3 cup cilantro, 1/4 tsp salt, oregano, and remaining ingredients in a food processor. Pulse 10 times. While the food processor is on, drizzle the remaining olive oil through the food processor’s chute. Serve Chimichurri with the pork.
