Grilled Pork Tenderloin
Description
This grilled pork tenderloin recipe involves marinating a whole tenderloin with fresh garlic, a blend of olive oil, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey, kosher salt, and black pepper. The marinade imparts moisture and flavor deeply into the meat when sealed in a ziplock bag for at least four hours.
Grilling is done over indirect heat for 20 to 25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F, ensuring the pork is juicy and cooked safely. The reserved marinade is boiled briefly to serve as a sauce alongside the sliced tenderloin, adding concentrated flavor.
The dish pairs well with grilled vegetables or a simple salad, making it suitable for a weekend dinner or special occasion. The balance of sweet and tangy notes from honey and lemon complements the savory tenderloin.
