Today we will cook fried pork tenderloin - one of the most favorite meat dishes for novice cooks. It is relatively affordable, marinates beautifully, and is generally fairly easy to prepare.
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.
