Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
Start by trimming any excess fat from the pork tenderloin. Slice the pork into 1/2 inch thick strips.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, Dijon mustard, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create the marinade.
Place the pork strips into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the pork. Ensure the pork is evenly coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the pork marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork strips from the marinade and place them on the hot grill.
Grill the pork strips for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Transfer the grilled pork strips to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled pork strips with your favorite paleo-friendly sides like grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
