Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces pork tenderloins
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloins. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Chop 2 rosemary sprigs finely and add them to the mixture. Reserve the other 2 sprigs for grilling.
Pour the marinade over the pork tenderloins, making sure they are well coated. Cover the pork and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the pork on the grill and lay the reserved rosemary sprigs on top of each tenderloin for added flavor.
Grill the pork for 15-20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Slice the pork tenderloins into medallions and serve warm. Pair with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
