Grilled Pork Tenderloin and Roasted Broccoli

Pork Tenderloin is such a versatile dish. You can make it absorb so many different flavors. This recipe is kind of like a "poor man's steak". I marinated it in coconut aminos (paleo friendly soy sauce)and fresh chives. You can pair it with Roasted Broccoli (see recipe below) or grilled asparagus. My son was literally licking his plate at the end of this meal!

Pork Tenderloin

 

1/2 cup coconut aminos

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

1 tablespoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste
 

1. Place tenderloin in a baking dish and put all of above ingredients
    on the tenderloin. Marinate at least 3 hours in the refrigerator.
    You can marinate overnight if you like.

2. Pull the tenderloin out of the fridge 30 minutes before    
    placing on the grill.

3. Grill on medium heat until internal temperature reaches  
    165 degrees F. It will continue to cook after you pull it off  
    the grill. A little pink is also ok, it's not chicken!

4. Slice and serve with the side of your choice.

Broccoli

16 oz bag frozen broccoli florets

3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

1. Place broccoli on a baking sheet and toss with the above ingredients.

2. Bake at 425 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, or until soft and a little browned.

3. Toss with 2-3 tablespoons olive oil and juice from 1/2 of a lemon
