Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 4 pieces pita bread
- 1 cup tzatziki sauce
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 red onion
- 1 cucumber
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim any silver skin from the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Brush the marinade evenly over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it's well coated.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 15-20 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) is reached.
While the pork cooks, prepare the toppings: Dice the tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and chop the cucumber into small chunks. Chop the fresh parsley as well.
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or in the oven for a minute or two.
Assemble the gyros by placing sliced pork onto each pita, adding a dollop of tzatziki sauce, and topping with tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, and parsley.
Fold the pita bread around the fillings and serve immediately. Enjoy your Pork Tenderloin Gyros!
