Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Directions
Step 1
Trim any silver skin or excess fat from the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to form a marinade.
Step 3
Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork and ensure it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 200°C).
Step 5
Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade and allow any excess to drip off. Discard the marinade.
Step 6
Place the pork tenderloin on the grill. Grill the tenderloin for about 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
Step 7
Once cooked to your liking, remove the tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 8
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
