Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
Peel and finely mince 4 cloves of garlic. Add the minced garlic to the marinade mixture.
Trim any excess fat from the 1.5 pounds of pork tenderloin. Slice the tenderloin into strips about 1 inch wide.
Place the pork strips in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork strips, sealing the bag or covering the dish to ensure the pork is well-coated.
Refrigerate the marinated pork for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375 to 400°F (190 to 200°C).
Remove the pork strips from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off before placing them on the grill.
Grill the pork strips for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and have a nice char on the outside.
Remove the pork strips from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to retain their juices before serving.
Serve the grilled pork strips with your choice of low carb sides, such as a fresh garden salad or roasted vegetables.
