Italian Style Pork Loin With Kale Chimichurri

Pork loin is really affordable and cooked properly always makes an amazing meal. Pork loin can dry out very easily though, which is why I normally pair pork with a sauce and a quick marinade. The Italian-themed marinade will help impair amazing flavors and keep the pork juicy. Cooking this show-stopping Italian Pork Loin with Kale Chimichurri on your Bull Grill is easy and satisfying.

When cooking pork loin on a Bull Grill there are a few things to remember. Dry pork is often the result of overcooked pork. It’s important to monitor the temperatures while grilling without constantly poking the meat with a thermometer and opening the grill. It’s also equally important to allow your pork to rest long enough before slicing.

Ingredients

  • 1 Boneless Pork Loin 3-4 pounds
  • 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp Sea Salt
  • 1 Tsp Black Pepper
  • 3 Tbsp Garlic Minced
  • 2 Tbsp White Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp Smoked Paprika

Kale Chimichurri

  • 1 Cup Kale with the stems removed and packed
  • 1 Cup Parsley with the stems removed and packed
  • 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
  • 1/4 Cup White Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp Chicken Stock
  • 2 Tbsp Pistachios
  • 1 Tbsp Garlic minced
  • 1 Tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp White Pepper

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic, white balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika.
  2. Place the pork loin on a foil-lined sheet tray. Pour the white balsamic vinegar mixture over the pork. Be sure to coat the entire pork loin with it.
  3. Place in a Bull Grill that has been preheated to medium-high. Using the indirect cooking method, turn off the innermost burner while leaving the outer burners on medium-high.
  4. Cook the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. If the top of the pork begins to burn, tent a piece of foil over the pork.
  5. When the pork has reached your desired doneness, remove it from the heat and allow it to rest for 15 minutes.
  6. Make the chimichurri by placing the kale, parsley, olive oil, white balsamic, chicken stock, pistachios, garlic, sea salt, and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until it has reached your desired consistency.
  7. Slice the pork and serve with chimichurri and cooked pasta.
