Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Cucumber, grated or diced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Tomatoes, diced
- 4 units Lettuce leaves
- 4 units Pita bread
Instructions
Trim the pork tenderloin of any silver skin or excess fat, then slice it into thin strips about 1/2 inch thick.
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Add the pork strips to the marinade, ensuring they're well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours.
While the pork is marinating, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated or diced cucumber, and fresh dill. Mix well and set aside in the refrigerator.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork strips and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 145°F). Remove from the heat and let rest for a couple of minutes.
Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until soft and pliable.
Assemble the sandwiches: Place a lettuce leaf on each pita, then top with cooked pork, sliced red onion, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of prepared yogurt sauce.
Fold the pita around the filling and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade pork tenderloin pita sandwiches!
