Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pork tenderloin
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Trim any silver skin or excess fat from the pork tenderloins and slice them into 1-inch thick medallions.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the pork medallions in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each piece is well coated.
Cover the dish (or seal the bag) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 6 hours for more flavor. Turn the medallions occasionally if marinating in a dish.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork medallions from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the unused marinade.
Grill the medallions for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Avoid overcooking to keep the pork tender and juicy.
Let the medallions rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad.
