Ingredients

  • Pork tenderloin - 300 grams
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Oregano - 1 teaspoon
  • Paprika - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Cucumber - 1 medium, diced
  • Cherry tomatoes - 150 grams, halved
  • Red onion - 1/4, thinly sliced
  • Feta cheese - 50 grams, crumbled
  • Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
  • Greek yogurt - 150 grams
  • Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
  • Dill - 1 teaspoon, chopped

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Cut the pork tenderloin into thin strips and add them to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. While the pork is marinating, prepare the tzatziki sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl. Set aside.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated pork strips. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until the pork is golden brown and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  5. In two serving bowls, divide the diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cooked pork.
  6. Top each bowl with crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley.
  7. Drizzle the tzatziki sauce over the bowls and serve immediately.
