Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon rosemary, fresh and chopped
- 1 tablespoon thyme, fresh and chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Trim any visible fat from the pork tenderloin and place it in a shallow dish.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and salt.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it's fully coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. If time allows, marinate for up to 4 hours.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
Step 5
Remove the tenderloin from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off, and place it on the preheated grill.
Step 6
Grill the pork tenderloin, rotating every 5 to 7 minutes, until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve with your choice of heart-healthy sides such as quinoa salad or steamed vegetables.
