Juicy garlic herb pork fillet skewers marinated in an aromatic marinade is a delicious, easy gluten free and low carb dinner recipe.

Garlic herb pork fillet skewers

Simple, healthy dinners have never looked this good. These garlic and herb pork fillet skewers have become a firm favorite of ours. Pork fillet or tenderloin is such a cost effective, lean cut of meat, perfect for family dinners. And the fact that it cooks in mere minutes is the cherry on top.

Because pork fillet is so lean and can tend to be bland, I marinate it in a super punchy marinade filled with fresh garlic, lots of lemon and herbs (both fresh and dried). The marinade does its work in no more than 10 minutes before the pork can be cooked in a smoking-hot grill pan until golden and juicy. Serve with a simple side salad for a delicious low carb, gluten free dinner.

Is pork tenderloin the same as pork fillet?

Yes, pork tenderloin and pork fillet are the same cut of meat with different names, depending on which country you’re in. It’s a long, thin and lean cut of pork perfect for quick cooking and grilling.

What temperature is pork tenderloin done?

Slice into the thickest cut of the pork fillet or pork tenderloin and make sure that the meat is pale with a slight pink hue (it is perfectly safe to eat good quality, ethically-raised pork just under well done) and the juices run clear. If you have a meat thermometer, it should read 62ĀŗC/145ĀŗF.

How do you keep pork tenderloin from drying out?

Because it is such a lean cut of meat, it’s important to cook it fast and to keep basting it with some kind of marinade whilst cooking. Remove the pork from the pan before it is fully cooked to rest. It will continue cooking while resting.

    How are random herbs a recipe ingredient? This is an incomplete recipe!

      Not random herbs. In many countries you can buy “Mixed herbs” as a seasoning. Usually consists of parsley, thyme, rosemary and oregano, etc. You can use any dried herb seasoning of your choice, Rachel.

    My son is doing keto and I’ve been struggling finding recipes to cook for us all that he can still eat. This recipe was perfect. We all loved it and it is now a regular dinner recipe for us.
