Directions: |
Directions:Prepare the pork tenderloin by removing the silverskin and any visible fat. Butterfly the tenderloin, but cutting it in half lengthwise, cutting almost, but not quite, all the way through. Spread it open and flatten slightly. Season with a bit of salt and freshly ground pepper.
Prepare the Souvlaki marinade by stirring together all the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Rub on the prepared pork tenderloin, then place in a plastic storage bag or wrap well with plastic wrap and refrigerate to marinate at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours (the longer the better).
When ready to cook, preheat oven to 375º (not fan assisted).
Remove the marinated pork tenderloin and place it on a baking sheet (line with foil). *I like to tuck the smashed garlic cloves underneath the pork, so they don't burn on the top and introduce a bitter flavour. You can also just remove and discard, if desired.
Place in preheated oven and allow to cook until it reaches 145º internal temperature, about 20 minutes. Brown the top of the pork by popping it under the broiler for a few minutes.
When pork is done, allow to rest a few minutes, then remove to a cutting board and cut into slices. |
