Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds pork tenderloin (about 2 small to medium tenderloins)

  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Vegetable oil for the grill
  • Cilantro (optional), for garnish

Recommended Equipment

Instructions

  • Trim the silverskin coating and excess fat from the tenderloins.
    1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin (about 2 small to medium tenderloins)
  • In a bowl or zip-close food storage bag, combine the 1/3 cup of salsa verde, lime juice, garlic, and green onions. Add the pork and turn to coat all sides. Close the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
    1/3 cup salsa verde | Juice of 1 lime | 2 cloves garlic | 2 green onions
  • Heat the grill to medium-high, or about 375°F to 400°F. Oil the grill rack.
    Vegetable oil for the grill
  • Grill the tenderloins, turning every few minutes, for about 18 to 22 minutes or until they register at least 145°F in the thickest part.
    • Tip: At 145°F with a short rest, pork tenderloin is safely cooked and stays juicy, with just a hint of pink in the center.
  • Remove the tenderloins to a plate and tent with foil. Let them rest for at least 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Slice and serve with salsa verde; garnish with cilantro, if desired.
    Cilantro (optional)
