| POINTS® Value: 5 Servings: 4 Preparation Time: 12 min Cooking Time: 25 min Level of Difficulty: Easy | The intense flavors of garlic and rosemary complement tender pork loin in this recipe. It's easy enough to make last minute and nice enough for special occasions. | Ingredients - 1 pound lean pork tenderloin, use one whole loin
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 medium garlic clove(s), crushed
- 2 Tbsp rosemary, fresh
- 1/2 tsp table salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 4 cup arugula
- 1/2 cup fat-free red wine vinaigrette
Instructions - Place pork on a large sheet of plastic wrap. In a small bowl, mix together oil, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper, crushing rosemary slightly with a spoon as you mix; spread mixture over pork, covering entire surface. Wrap loin tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour (and up to overnight).
- Prepare grill for medium-hot indirect cooking or preheat oven to 425°F.
- Remove plastic wrap and place pork on grill. Grill, turning occasionally, until a meat thermometer inserted in center reads 160°F, about 25 minutes. Or indoors, place tenderloin in a shallow roasting pan and roast until internal temperature reaches 160°F, about 20 minutes. (Note: Pork loin can be pink and juicy inside and be fully cooked, but it is important that the internal temperature be at least 160°F.)
- Remove pork from grill or oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Toss arugula with vinaigrette and serve with pork. Yields about 3 ounces of pork and 1 cup of arugula per serving.
