Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork loin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the pork loin in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork loin, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the pork loin from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
Place the pork loin on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork loin into thin pieces and serve. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
