Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork tenderloin
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to create a marinade.
Place the pork tenderloin in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off. Discard the marinade.
Place the pork tenderloin on the preheated grill. Grill for 10 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the pork tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve immediately.
