Ingredients

• 1 pound Pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Begin by trimming any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, ground black pepper, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the pork tenderloin in a shallow dish or a sealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C). If using an outdoor grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Place the pork tenderloin on the grill. Cover and grill for approximately 12-15 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium, using a meat thermometer.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the pork tenderloin from the grill. Tent it with aluminum foil and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes to retain its juices.

Step 8

Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve immediately with your choice of side dishes.
