"Straight from Tyler Florence, here is the best pork tenderloin recipe we've ever had! Unlike so many other pork tenderloin recipes, this one only takes 30 minutes to marinade & the flavors are fantastic."

Wow, this was a HUGE hit! I did use a blender for the Chimichurri sauce like Tyler did on the show. I also had to reduce the jalepeno's due to the "sisses" in the family. LOL Try this, you will be glad you did! Thanks for posting fordido.

I used thin boneless pork chops, too, and thought it was just OK. DH, on the other hand, really enjoyed them. I think I would cut down on the olive oil a little bit next time. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Spring 2009.

I used thin cut boneless pork chops and it was excellent. Very flavorful.
