Ingredients

Pork Tenderloin

2 - 2 ½ Lbs Pork Tenderloin About Two Tenderloins
2 - 3 Tablespoons Neutral Oil

Coffee Rub

2 Teaspoons Paprika
1 Teaspoon Ground Coffee
1 Teaspoon Granulated Garlic
1 ½ Teaspoons Kosher Salt
1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
½ Teaspoon Granulated Sugar
Pinch Cayenne

Chimichurri Sauce

3 Garlic Cloves Minced
1 Small Serrano Pepper Seeds Removed, Minced
⅓ Cup Cilantro
⅓ Cup Flat Leaf Parsley
1 Tablespoon Fresh Oregano
⅓ Cup Red Wine Vinegar
½ Cup Extra Light Olive Oil
¾ Teaspoon Kosher Salt
½ Teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

Coffee-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin

Heat a grill or griddle over medium-high heat until it reaches 450–500°F.
Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil over the pork tenderloins, and rub them until the oil becomes slightly tacky (this will help the rub stick). Combine the rub ingredients in a small bowl. Sprinkle the rub over each side of each tenderloin, and rub it in until it is evenly coated.
Grill or griddle over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F for medium-rare. Remove from the heat, loosely cover with aluminum foil, and rest for at least 10 minutes.

Chimichurri Sauce

Combine the garlic, serrano peppers, cilantro, parsley, oregano, red wine vinegar, extra light olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Serving

Slice the pork tenderloin into ½-inch thick slices, and top with several tablespoons of the chimichurri sauce.
