Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Step 1
Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin using a sharp knife. Pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, oregano, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir the mixture until well blended.
Step 3
Place the pork tenderloin in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork, seal the bag, and massage it to ensure the tenderloin is evenly coated with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375-400°F (190-200°C).
Step 5
Remove the tenderloin from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
Step 6
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the pork tenderloin on the grill over direct heat.
Step 7
Grill the pork, turning occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare. If the outside is browning too quickly, move it to indirect heat to finish cooking.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute within the meat, keeping it moist and flavorful.
Step 9
Slice the tenderloin into 1/2-inch thick medallions and serve with your favorite keto-friendly sides.
