Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin using a sharp knife. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, oregano, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir the mixture until well blended.
Place the pork tenderloin in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork, seal the bag, and massage it to ensure the tenderloin is evenly coated with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375-400°F (190-200°C).
Remove the tenderloin from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the pork tenderloin on the grill over direct heat.
Grill the pork, turning occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare. If the outside is browning too quickly, move it to indirect heat to finish cooking.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute within the meat, keeping it moist and flavorful.
Slice the tenderloin into 1/2-inch thick medallions and serve with your favorite keto-friendly sides.
