Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 grated lemon, zest of
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice (4-6 lemons)
1/2 cup olive oil (plus more to brush the grill)
2 tablespoons minced garlic (6 cloves)
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
kosher salt
3 pork tenderloin (approx 1 lb each)
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, mustard, and 2 tsp salt in a 1 gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the pork tenderloins and turn to coat with the marinade. Squeeze the air out of the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight, or at least 3 hours. (an idea is to put the bag in a bowl, just in case).
  • When you're ready to cook, preheat the grill. Be sure to brush the grill with some oil to prevent the pork from sticking. Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and discard the marinade but leave herbs clinging to meat.
  • Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, then grill, turning a few times to brown on all sides, for15-25 minutes-until the meat registers about 137 degrees at the thickest part.
  • Transfer the tenderloins to a platter and cover tightly with aluminum foil. LET REST FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES. Carve in 1/2 inch thick diagonal slices. The thickest part will be pink; this is just fine. The thinnest parts will be well done(allows something for every taste). Season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm or at room temperature with the juices that collect on the platter.

MARINATED PORK LOIN



Marinated Pork Loin image

With only 2 ingredients, this dish could not be easier!!!

Provided by Six Sisters

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 (4 pound) pork loin
1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian dressing (divided)

Steps:

  • The night before, place the pork loin in an airtight container (or a ziploc bag) and cover completely with 3/4 of the bottle of Italian dressing. Set aside the remaining dressing for cooking. Place pork loin in the fridge and let marinate overnight (it makes it REALLY tender!).
  • When you're ready to cook it, set your grill to the lowest heat setting (the trick is to cook it low and slow).
  • Set the whole pork loin directly on the grill and cook each side for a couple of minutes (I did about 5 minutes a side). Then cut the loin into 1" slices. Baste each slice with the remaining Italian dressing.
  • You should flip the slices every three minutes or so, basting with marinade each time you do.
  • Grill until the internal temperature of each 1" slice of pork reaches between 145-160 degrees F (depending on how you like your pork).
  • Total grill time was about 30 minutes, but it will vary depending on the heat of your grill.

Either way, I promise this will be the best pork tenderloin you've ever had. It may seem like a lot of ingredients, but it is a very simple recipe and well worth the effort.
