Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
Prepare the marinade by mincing the garlic cloves and finely chopping the fresh rosemary and thyme.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to combine.
Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, making sure it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 4-6 hours for the best flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C). Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the tenderloin on the preheated grill.
Grill the pork for about 20-25 minutes, turning every 5-7 minutes to ensure even cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender result.
Slice the pork tenderloin into 1-inch thick medallions and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite side dishes or salads for a complete meal.
