Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using).
Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the pork tenderloin for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the pork tenderloin on the preheated grill and cook for 18-20 minutes, turning every 5-6 minutes to ensure even cooking. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the pork tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
