Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly cracked
Instructions
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloins.
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well blended.
Place the pork tenderloins in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring the pork is fully coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (204°C).
Remove the pork from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Place the tenderloins on the preheated grill. Grill for 12 to 15 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C), using a meat thermometer to check.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the tenderloins into medallions and serve warm alongside your choice of sides.
