Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork loin
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the marinade. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, black pepper, dried thyme, and salt.

Step 2

Place the pork loin into a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork loin, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).

Step 4

Remove the pork loin from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 5

Place the pork loin on the preheated grill. Sear the pork loin on each side for about 5 minutes to develop a nice charred crust.

Step 6

Once seared, reduce the grill heat to medium, around 350°F (175°C). Cover the grill and continue to cook for another 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a juicy end result.

Step 8

Slice the pork loin into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve. Enjoy your High Protein Grilled Pork Loin with your favorite side dishes.
