Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Pork loin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Instructions
Place the pork loin on a clean cutting board and trim off any excess fat.
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, paprika, salt, black pepper, and honey. Stir until well mixed.
Place the pork loin in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the pork loin. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-205°C).
Remove the pork loin from the marinade and let it come to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
Place the pork loin on the preheated grill and cook for about 15 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the grill and allow it to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing to let the juices redistribute.
Slice the pork loin into half-inch thick slices and serve hot with your choice of sides.
