Preparation

Step 1

1.) To prepare the pork: Combine the oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Coat the pork with 2 tbsp of the mixture and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.

2.) To prepare the salad: Combine the bell pepper, cucumber, scallions, and parsley with the remaining oil mixture in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

3.) Preheat a barbecue grill to med-hot. Add pork and brush with its marinade. Grill, turning 2 or 3 times, for 20 minutes or until nicely browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 155 degree F. remove from the grill and let stand for 10 minutes.

4.) Carve the pork into slices and serve with the salad.


* GARLIC-INFUSED OIL

2.) Heat gently over medium heat for about 5 to 7 minutes or until the garlic turns golden.
