Chimichurri Pork Tenderloins

65 minutes Cook time 30 minutes Prep time 4 servings

Ingredients

Sauce chimichurri

Preparation

Sous vide

  1. Fill a large pot or sous vide container with water. Attach the immersion circulator to the rim of the container according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Set cooking temperature to 140°F (60°C). Allow water to reach the right temperature.
  2. Meanwhile, combine oil, lemon juice and garlic in a dish. Add tenderloins and coat well with mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Fold down the rim of a large sous vide bag or resealable freezer bag to keep the outside clean. Place pork tenderloin side by side.
  4. Turn up the rim of the bag and seal it with a vacuum sealer or immerse the resealable bag in water (without submerging) to expel the air, then seal it shut.
  5. Using a clamp, secure the bag to side of the container to fully immerse meat in water. Set cooking time to 60 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Combine all the chimichurri sauce ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate.
  7. Preheat barbecue to medium heat or use a grill pan. Oil the grill.
  8. Remove bag from water and take out the meat.
  9. Grill tenderloins for about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a cutting board and slice. Serve topped with chimichurri sauce.

In The Oven

  1. In a dish, mix the oil, lemon juice and garlic. Add the pork tenderloins and coat them well. Salt and pepper.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 8 hours.
  3. Place oven rack in middle position and preheat oven at 375°F (190°C).
  4. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the tenderloins for 3 minutes on each side in 30 ml (2 tbsp.) vegetable oil. Continue cooking in the oven for about 12 to 15 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the center of a tenderloin indicates 140°F (60°C). Set aside on a plate and wrap in foil and let stand for 10 minutes.

In advance

  1. Tenderloin can be cooked ahead of time using the sous vide method. Simply immerse the bags in ice water to stop the cooking process. Store in the refrigerator until you are ready to grill the meat.
