How to Make Bbq Pork Loin With Chimichurri Sauce

  1. **Make the Chimichurri:** In a medium bowl, combine 4 cloves minced garlic, 1-2 finely chopped jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference), 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil.
  2. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Let the chimichurri stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. **Marinate the Pork:** Reserve 1/2 cup of the chimichurri sauce. Place the 2-3 lb pork loin in a resealable bag. Pour the remaining chimichurri over the pork, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  5. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or up to 8 hours. (Overnight is also great!)
  6. **Grill the Pork:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  7. Grill the pork loin for approximately 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) using a meat thermometer. Turn occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  8. **Rest and Serve:** Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 20 minutes, loosely tented with foil. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork loin.
  9. Slice the pork against the grain and drizzle generously with the reserved chimichurri sauce.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
