Ingredients

• 2 pieces Pork tenderloin
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Trim any silver skin or excess fat from the pork tenderloins and slice them into 1-inch thick medallions.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the pork medallions in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each piece is well coated.

Step 4

Cover the dish (or seal the bag) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 6 hours for more flavor. Turn the medallions occasionally if marinating in a dish.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Remove the pork medallions from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the unused marinade.

Step 7

Grill the medallions for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Avoid overcooking to keep the pork tender and juicy.

Step 8

Let the medallions rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad.
