- For a more flavorful marinade, use a combination of citrus juices, herbs, and spices. Be sure to let the pork marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
- When grilling the pork, cook it over medium heat to prevent it from drying out. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork is cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
