Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork loin
- 1 bunch Fresh parsley
- 0.5 bunch Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Fresh oregano
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 roll Kitchen twine
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Butterfly the pork loin by slicing it lengthwise almost all the way through, then open it like a book. Cover with plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet to create an even thickness.
Prepare the chimichurri sauce: In a food processor or blender, combine parsley, cilantro, oregano, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red chili flakes, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Blend until it forms a coarse sauce.
Spread half of the chimichurri sauce evenly over the flattened pork loin, making sure to leave a small border around the edges.
Roll the pork loin tightly from one end to the other, like a jelly roll. Secure the roll with kitchen twine, tying loops every 1 to 2 inches.
Season the outside of the pork loin roll with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sear the pork loin roll on all sides until golden, about 2 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork loin from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the sliced pork loin drizzled with the remaining chimichurri sauce. Enjoy!
