Mexican Adobo Rubbed Grilled Pork Tenderloin
Description
This recipe prepares an 18-ounce pork tenderloin rubbed with olive oil and a measured amount of adobo seasoning, allowing it to rest to absorb flavors. The pork is then generously salted and cooked over high heat on a grill or under a broiler, ensuring even cooking with occasional turning.
The pork is cooked to medium doneness, verified with a thermometer, and rested briefly before slicing into eight portions. The cooking method produces a flavorful exterior crust from the spices while maintaining a tender and juicy center.
This preparation works well as a main dish accompanied by grilled vegetables or in sandwiches and tacos where the adobo flavor can be highlighted.
Ingredients
- 18 oz pork tenderloin
- 3 tbsp adobo seasoning Aaron's brand
- 1 tsp olive oil
- kosher salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Rub the olive oil over the tenderloin and pat on the adobo. Set aside about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the grill to high, or preheat the broiler. Generously season the pork with salt.
- Grill or broil on high until an instant read thermometer inserted in the center reads 145°F, about 20 to 22 minutes, turning a few times.
- Let the pork rest about 5 minutes before slicing into 8 slices.
