Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless pork loin
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Slice the boneless pork loin into thin strips, about 1/2 inch thick.
Place the pork strips into the bowl with the marinade. Toss them until they are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).
Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork strips from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place them on the preheated grill.
Grill the pork strips for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the pork strips from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Sprinkle the grilled pork strips with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the Mediterranean Diet Grilled Pork Strips with a side of your choice, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables, to complete the meal.
