    • Mojo Pork Tenderloin with Parsley Cilantro Chimichurri

      Posted at 1:20 pm by NativeNM, on May 26, 2025

      Recently I got a Blackstone griddle and I can’t wait to show you how much fun I’ve been having with it. Cooking outdoors is going to be so much fun this summer. This pork tenderloin was so easy to make and it turned out absolutely delicious! It charred over the outside while remaining tender and moist on the inside. There’s nothing more fragrant and flavorful than adding chimichurri to grilled meat. It makes every bite taste like a burst of flavor that you can’t resist. I paired the tenderloin with some foil packet potatoes and a salad which made a perfect meal with very little cleanup. It gets so hot during the summer months here in the Land of Enchantment that I prefer grilling over heating up my kitchen. Starting this weekend I’m planning a new chapter in Blackstone cooking; I hope to find some new inspiration along the way. Wish me luck!

    • Grilled Pork Chops with Red Chile Pistachio Chimichurri

      Posted at 2:10 pm by NativeNM, on January 20, 2021

      One of my favorite ways to dress up a pork chop is to add chimichurri.  Pork chops don’t have to be dry and bland.  By adding a simple marinade and a flavorful topping, pork chops can be a most appealing meal.  The chimichurri is the star of this recipe, made with the flavors of red chile and lime.  This combination is second to none with fresh herbs, red chile pistachios and queso fresco cheese.  Once the pork has marinated this meal can be prepared in 15 minutes.  The chimichurri provided flavor, texture and spice which tasted so good with the grilled pork.  To complete this meal serve alongside a baked potato and garden salad.  Pork chops never tasted so good!

    • Ribeye Steak Sandwich

      Ribeye-Steak-Sandwich-16

      I’ve been craving steak and decided to stretch a ribeye into a meal for two with steak sandwiches.  Instead of waiting for a warm day to grill outdoors, I decided to try Josh’s method of cooking a steak on top of the stove using the constant flip method.  He has been trying all sorts of different foods and cooking techniques since he moved into his own place and he’s teaching this old cook some new tricks.  Instead of cooking a steak and only turning it once, you turn it every 30 seconds in a smoking hot cast iron skillet giving it a more even browning and crusting on the outside and a warm pink center that is so tender it practically melts in your mouth.  Once the steak was on it’s last 30 seconds I added some butter to the pan and some chimichurri and spooned it over the steak which added so much flavor.  Grill some onion and tomato in the remaining chimichurri butter and you’ve got the makings for one impressive sandwich!
