Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Trim any visible fat from the pork tenderloin and slice it into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide.
In a medium bowl, mix together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground black pepper, Dijon mustard, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the pork strips in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated.
Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Once preheated, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork strips from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place them on the grill.
Grill the pork strips for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
Remove the pork strips from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the grilled pork strips with your choice of sides such as grilled vegetables or a fresh garden salad for a healthy meal.
