Grilled Pork Tenderloin
Description
Grilled Pork Tenderloin is prepared by marinating the pork in a mixture of olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, lemon zest and juice, fresh parsley, thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic. The marinade infuses the meat with a blend of sweetness, tang, herbaceous notes, and umami. After marinating between one and eight hours, the tenderloin cooks on a medium-heat grill until reaching an internal temperature of 145°F, ensuring juiciness and safe consumption.
Once off the grill, a short rest allows juices to redistribute, helping maintain moisture when sliced. Garnishing with extra parsley adds a fresh, herbal contrast. This straightforward recipe highlights the pork's natural flavor enhanced by the marinade’s bright and savory notes, making it suitable for a diverse range of side dishes and occasions.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, plus more for garnish, leaves
- 1 tablespoon thyme chopped, leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper and garlic.
- Pour the marinade over the meat. Marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours.
- Preheat a grill to medium heat. Place the pork on the grill. Cook for 15-18 minutes, turning occasionally, until the interior of the pork registers 145 degrees F on a meat thermometer.
