INGREDIENTS :
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 ½-2 lbs pork tenderloin
- 2 tsp honey
- ¼ c. oil
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp Italian herb seasoning blend – or ¼ tsp each dried basil, thyme, oregano, and parsley or rosemary
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- juice of ½ lemon
- ⅛ tsp cracked black pepper – or a pinch of finely ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS :
Step 1: Using a paper towel, pat the pork tenderloin dry.
Step 2: Mix the lemon juice, garlic, dried herbs, oil, salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, and honey until well blended. In a large ziplock bag, pour half of this mixture. Add the tenderloin to the bag. Make sure to press the excess air out before sealing the bag. Set the bag aside and chill the tenderloin for about 30 minutes.
Step 3: Oil the grates of the grill and preheat to medium.
Step 4: Transfer the pork to the preheated grill using tongs. Close the grill and cook the pork tenderloin for about 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the meat a couple of times to ensure even cooking. Halfway through grilling, brush all sides of pork tenderloin with the reserved marinade. When the internal temperature of the pork tenderloin reaches 145 degrees the pork is done.
Step 5: To a cutting board, transfer the grilled pork tenderloin and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
Note:
- If using more than 2 1/2 inches thick pork tenderloin, slice it in half lengthwise to make two thinner pieces of tenderloin before proceeding with the recipe.
