Ingredients

  • 2 pounds pork tenderloin cut into steaks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon peel finely chopped, optional
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon shallot minced
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar or white vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons anchovies chopped, optional
  • 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Method

  • In a large bowl, combine all sauce ingredients and mix.
  • Add olive oil to a large saute 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.
