Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (1 to 1.5 lbs each) Pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Pat the pork tenderloins dry with paper towels and trim any excess fat or silver skin.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the pork tenderloins in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for enhanced flavor).
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the pork on the preheated grill. Sear the tenderloins for 2-3 minutes per side (4 sides total) to develop a golden crust.
After searing, reduce the heat to medium and close the grill lid. Cook the pork for an additional 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (use a meat thermometer to check).
Remove the pork tenderloins from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a tender result.
Slice the pork tenderloins into 1/2-inch thick medallions and serve warm. Pair with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad, for a complete meal.
