Ingredients
-
1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin (approx)
-
1 1/2 tablespoons paprika, your own choice,sweet,hot or smoked
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1 clove garlic, crushed
-
1 -2 teaspoon salt
-
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
-
lemon slice, to serve
-
fresh ground pepper
-
1 teaspoon grated lemons, zest of or 1 teaspoon lime zest
Instructions
- Mix all the spices with the olive oil, you should get a thick paste.
- Rub this on the pork, put the pork in a plastic bag and marinate in the fridge, minimal 4 hours but preferably overnight.
- To be on the safe side, put the pork in the bag in a dish, once my bag leaked and the fridge was orange!
- Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking, there will be juices now in the bag, you can use them for basting if you want.
- Heat up a grill pan, no oil, and fry 7 to 8 minutes on each side, longer if you want the pork more well done, it will also depend on the thickness of the pork.
- Cut in diagonal slices and serve with the lemon.
- This also very nice done on the barbeque.
- You can cut down on the cooking time by cutting the meat in slices before cooking.
