Pork tenderloin soaks in a bright marinade of garlic, rosemary, and lemon before hitting a hot grill for a quick sear. The result is tender, subtly herbed meat with a caramelized exterior, suited for weeknight dinners or warm-weather entertaining.

- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Refrigerate and marinate for at least 4 hours, turning occasionally.
-
Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before grilling.

-
Remove the pork from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
-
Grill the tenderloin, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until evenly charred on all sides and an internal thermometer reads 145°F, about 18 to 20 minutes total.
