Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Pork loin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 medium Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh rosemary and thyme.
Step 2
Combine the minced garlic, chopped herbs, olive oil, lemon zest, black pepper, and honey in the bowl. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the pork loin in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork loin, ensuring it is well covered. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Step 4
Refrigerate the marinating pork for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once heated, oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Remove the pork loin from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the pork loin on the preheated grill.
Step 7
Grill the pork loin for approximately 12-15 minutes per side, ensuring to turn it only once. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, which should read 145°F (63°C) when done.
Step 8
Once cooked through, remove the pork loin from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices.
Step 9
Slice the pork loin into 1/2 inch thick pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful low sodium grilled pork loin!
