What Is Chimichurri?
It's delicious is what it is. Chimichurri is an Argentinean fresh herb sauce that is absolutely so full of flavor that it will knock your socks off. The usual suspects are fresh parsley, red wine vinegar, and oregano. I've added fresh chives because I love the flavor.
Chimichurri is phenomenal over grilled and roasted meats and vegetables, as a salad dressing, a sandwich spread, or even as a marinade. If you've never had it before, you've got to try it. You'll find yourself keeping it on hand at all times!
And, if you have leftover chimichurri, even better. We put it on everything from roasted vegetables to scramble eggs. It's great on steaks and seafood. It literally would make shoe taste good. Literally.
For this Sheet Pan Pork Tenderloin, it brings all of the flavors together and is just magical!

Tips and Tricks
- Pull the pork tenderloin out of the fridge about 30 minutes before you're ready to cook. It'll roast more evenly.
- If you like your asparagus less done, add it 10 minutes after putting the pork into the oven.
- Use a meat thermometer. It takes the guess work out of cooking the tenderloin and will prevent over cooking!
