Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork loin
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to form a paste.
Step 2
Place the pork loin on a cutting board and pat dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, create shallow slits on the top of the pork loin.
Step 3
Rub the marinade mixture all over the pork loin, ensuring it gets into the slits and covers the entire surface of the meat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). If you are using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are white hot before grilling.
Step 5
Once the grill is ready, place the marinated pork loin on the grill grates directly over the heat. Sear each side for about 3 to 4 minutes to get grill marks and lock in the juices.
Step 6
After searing, move the pork loin to a cooler part of the grill to continue cooking with indirect heat. Close the grill lid and cook for an additional 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the grill and let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute within the meat.
Step 8
Slice the pork loin into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful Paleo Grilled Pork Loin with your choice of Paleo-friendly sides.
