Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2-3 lbs whole pork tenderloin
- 1/2 cup avocado oil (or olive oil)
- Juice of 3 limes approximately 1/4 cup
- 2 tbsp vinegar
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup loose cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Trim excess fat off pork tenderloin. Place inside a large ziploc bag or airtight container.
- To make the marinade, blend oil, limes, vinegar, garlic, cilantro, salt, and cumin until smooth. Pour and cover the tenderloin completely. Marinate for 6 to 24 hours.
- Prepare your grill. If using a gas grill, heat your grill to medium and begin to cook your tenderloin. If using a charcoal grill, do not place the meat directly over the charcoal. Reserve marinade. Cover while cooking, turning avery 2-3 minutes basting with a little more marinade on each turn. The tenderloin is ready when the inside is slightly pink (but cooked), or the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.
- Remove from your grill, cover with foil to seal in the juices. Let sit for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with extra lime or cilantro.
