Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 1 pound each) Pork tenderloin
• 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons (minced) Fresh rosemary
• 4 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, rosemary, garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 2

Place the pork tenderloins in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the tenderloins, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more intense flavor.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 5

Place the pork tenderloins on the preheated grill. Sear the tenderloins for 2-3 minutes per side to create a golden, slightly charred crust.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium or move the tenderloins to indirect heat. Cover the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F.

Step 7

Once cooked, transfer the tenderloins to a cutting board and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

Slice the pork tenderloins into medallions and serve immediately. Pair with grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or your favorite side dish for a complete meal.
