Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 1 pound each) pork tenderloin
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 5 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, honey, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the pork tenderloins in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Allow the pork to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes before grilling.

Step 5

Place the pork tenderloins on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F for a slightly pink center or 160°F for fully cooked.

Step 6

Once cooked, transfer the pork tenderloins to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tenderness.

Step 7

Slice the pork tenderloins into 1/2-inch thick medallions and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
