Ingredients

For the Marinade

  • 4 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 lemon zested and juiced
  • 1/4 cup fresh oregano finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup grapeseed oil or other high heat safe oil
  • 1 1/2 lb pork tenderloin
  • Salt & pepper to taste

For the Pita Sandwiches

  • Pita bread heated if you'd like
  • Fresh lettuce
  • Chopped tomatoes
  • Slivered red onion
  • Several slices of cooked pork
  • Tzatziki to taste I used a heapting spoon full per pita and then added another dollop on the top
  • Feta cheese to taste the more the better in my opinion

Instructions

  • Combine the marinade ingredients and marinate pork in fridge for at least one hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Remove pork from marinade and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • On medium-high heat, sear the pork on all sides in an oven-safe pan, about 2-3 minutes per side. You may have to use a fork to hold the pork on its side to sear.
  • Once the pork is seared, insert an oven-safe thermometer and place in the preheated oven.
  • When the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for at least three minutes before cutting. Slice the pork in thin strips for the pita sandwiches, or you can also slice and enjoy on a nice salad.

To Assemble the Pita Sandwiches

  • Warm the pitas in a pan or microwave and add toppings of your choice. I like a lot tzatziki, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, pork and feta cheese.
