Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork loin
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Start by preparing the marinade. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, black pepper, dried thyme, and salt.
Place the pork loin into a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork loin, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).
Remove the pork loin from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the pork loin on the preheated grill. Sear the pork loin on each side for about 5 minutes to develop a nice charred crust.
Once seared, reduce the grill heat to medium, around 350°F (175°C). Cover the grill and continue to cook for another 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a juicy end result.
Slice the pork loin into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve. Enjoy your High Protein Grilled Pork Loin with your favorite side dishes.
