RECIPE: Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Chimichurri (from Meal Prep Magic by Catherine McCord)
It was in Argentina where I began my love affair with chimichurri; a pot of it accompanied whatever meat we were eating. Just the thought of pairing it with pork tenderloin makes me giddy.
PREP TIME: 15 minutes, plus 1 to 2 hours for marinating COOK TIME: 15 minutes SERVES: 4 to 6
¼ cup (60 ml) Dijon mustard
½ cup (120 ml) apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
8 cloves garlic, minced
⅓ cup (75 ml) plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
2 to 2½ pounds (910 g to 1.2 kg) pork tenderloin, fat and silver skin removed
½ cup (15 g) packed fresh cilantro
½ cup (15 g) packed flat- or curly-leaf parsley
1 small shallot, peeled
2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Pinch crushed red pepper
Freshly ground black pepper
Place the Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, half of the garlic, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large zip-top bag. Squish the bag to mix the marinade. Add the pork tenderloin and use your hand on the outside of the bag to move the marinade around the pork. Marinate for 1 to hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.
To make the chimichurri, in a food processor, place the cilantro, parsley, remaining garlic, shallot, the remaining ⅓ cup (75 ml) olive oil, the red or white wine vinegar, lime juice, crushed red pepper, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and black pepper and pulse until finely chopped.
Heat a grill to medium heat. Grill the marinated pork on several sides for a total of 14 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 135 to 140°F (55 to 60°C) when checked with an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat. (Alternatively, you can use a cast-iron skillet to roast the pork. Heat over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the pork all over for a total of 6 minutes. Transfer the pan to a 400°F (205°C) oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes.)
Allow the pork to rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the juices to settle before slicing. Use a sharp knife to cut pork on a bias into ½-inch (12 mm) slices and top with the chimichurri sauce.
Make sure not to overcook the pork. Pork should never be cooked to more than 135 to 140°F (55 to 60°C). You want the internal color to be light pink.
Make double the amount of chimichurri sauce to serve with fish, shrimp, chicken, or steak later that week.
TO ENJOY LATER The cooked pork can be cooled and refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy at room temperature or warm for 30 seconds in the microwave. Store the chimichurri in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze in ice cube trays then transfer to labeled zip-top bags for up to 4 months.
PREP IN ADVANCE Place the zip-top bag of the pork in its marinade in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to cook, place the pork chops in the zip-top bag in the refrigerator to thaw overnight; cook as directed.

Busy Bees and Bloomin Budgets: Delicious and Affordable Meals for the Time-Crunched Foodie
Busy Bees and Blooming Budgets: Delicious and Affordable Meals for the Time-Crunched Foodie .Ditch the takeout menus and hello to delicious, budget-friendly meals! This guide is packed with affordable and healthy recipe ideas for busy bees, proving that eating well doesn't have to break the bank.
Listen up, busy bees! We all know the struggle – juggling work, family, and other commitments, leaving little time or energy to whip up gourmet meals. But here's the good news:
eating healthy and delicious food doesn't have to cost a fortune or take hours in the kitchen. This guide is your roadmap to affordable and healthy meals, perfect for busy bees on a budget.
First things first, let's address the elephant in the room – budgeting for groceries. Here are some tips to get you started:
Plan your meals: Planning your meals for the week helps you avoid impulse purchases at the store and ensures you have ingredients on hand for healthy meals.
Embrace the grocery list: Stick to your list and avoid getting sucked into tempting (and often expensive) impulse buys.
Shop smart: Compare prices at different stores, utilize coupons and loyalty programs, and consider buying in bulk for staples like rice and beans.
Don't forget frozen: Frozen fruits and vegetables are often just as nutritious as fresh options and can be budget-friendly.
Now, let's get cookin'! Here are some affordable and healthy meal ideas to fuel your busy days:
Breakfast:
Overnight oats: Simply combine rolled oats, milk (dairy or plant-based), and your favorite flavorings (fruit, nuts, spices) in a jar the night before, and enjoy a grab-and-go breakfast in the morning.
Eggs: A classic for a reason! Eggs are a budget-friendly source of protein and can be prepared in endless ways – scrambled, fried, omelets, or even hard-boiled for a quick snack.
Whole-wheat toast with avocado and eggs: Add a touch of healthy fat and protein to your toast with a mashed avocado and a couple of fried eggs.
Lunch:
Leftovers: Leftovers are a lifesaver! Repurpose leftover dinner ingredients into a delicious and healthy lunch the next day.
Soup and salad: This classic combo is both filling and nutritious. Choose hearty, vegetable-packed soups and pair them with a simple salad tossed with a homemade vinaigrette.
Tuna salad sandwich: Opt for canned tuna packed in water and mix it with low-fat mayo, chopped celery, and red onion for a protein-packed sandwich on whole-wheat bread.
Dinner:
Bean burritos: Beans are a budget-friendly protein powerhouse. Make a big pot of chili beans and use them to fill tortillas with your favorite toppings like salsa, shredded cheese, and avocado.
Stir-fry: This is a quick and easy way to get your veggies in! Choose your favorite protein (chicken, tofu, shrimp) and stir-fry it with a colorful mix of vegetables and a simple sauce made with soy sauce, ginger, and garlic.
Pasta night: Skip the expensive pre-made sauces! Make a simple tomato sauce with canned tomatoes, garlic, and herbs, and pair it with whole-wheat pasta and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Bonus Tip: Don't forget about meal prep! Dedicate some time on the weekend to cook and portion out meals for the week. This will save you time and ensure you always have healthy options readily available.
Remember, eating healthy on a budget is possible. By planning your meals, shopping smart, and getting creative in the kitchen, you can fuel your busy life with delicious and nutritious food without breaking the bank. So, busy bees, get out there, explore the world of affordable and healthy meals, and bloom into the healthy, energetic individuals you are meant to be!
