Tips for Experienced Cooks

To elevate this grilled pork and vegetable dish, consider adding a zesty chimichurri sauce or a creamy avocado sauce on the side to add a fresh and vibrant touch. Additionally, marinating the pork overnight will deepen the flavors significantly. You can also experiment with smoking the pork on the grill by adding wood chips wrapped in foil to create a smoky flavor.

Step 1: Prepare the marinade

In a medium bowl, whisk together the following ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Step 2: Marinate the pork

Place the pork tenderloin in a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over the pork. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

  • 1 pork tenderloin

Step 3: Grill the pork

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the pork for 10-12 minutes, flipping every few minutes, until the pork is cooked through.

Step 4: Grill the vegetables

While the pork is grilling, place the following vegetables on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping every few minutes, until lightly charred and tender:

  • 1 bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1 onion (sliced)
  • 1 zucchini (sliced)

Step 5: Heat the black beans

Heat the black beans in a small saucepan over medium heat.

  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans

Step 6: Serve the dish

Slice the grilled pork and serve with the grilled vegetables, heated black beans, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

  • Chopped cilantro (for garnish)
