(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Grilling

Ingredients

  • PORK:
  • 1/4 cup garlic-infused oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed
  • SALAD:
  • 1 red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 hothouse cucumber, chopped
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. To prepare the pork: Combine the oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Coat the pork with 2 tablespoons of the mixture and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
  2. To prepare the salad: Combine the bell pepper, cucumber, scallions, and parsley with the remaining oil mixture in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Preheat a barbecue grill to medium-hot. Add the pork and brush with its marinade. Grill, turning 2 or 3 times, for 20 minutes or until nicely browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 155°F. Remove from the grill and let stand for 10 minutes.
  4. Carve the pork into slices and serve with the salad.
