Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork loin
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, paprika, ground black pepper, kosher salt, chopped rosemary, and lemon juice to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the pork loin in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork loin, ensuring the meat is evenly coated. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for enhanced flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using a charcoal grill, prepare a direct heat zone.

Step 4

Remove the pork loin from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.

Step 5

Place the pork loin on the preheated grill. Sear the pork for about 2-3 minutes on each side to develop a crispy, flavorful crust.

Step 6

Move the pork loin to indirect heat on the grill. Cover the grill and cook for 35-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F using a meat thermometer.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board, loosely covered with aluminum foil, for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Slice the pork loin into 1/2-inch thick medallions and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
