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.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 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
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Method

  1. Trim the silver skin and excess fat from the pork tenderloin.

  2. Place the pork tenderloin in a large resealable bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over it, and turn to coat evenly.

  3. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 4 hours, turning occasionally.

  4. Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before grilling.

  5. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat, about 450°F, and oil the grates.

  6. Remove the pork from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.

  7. 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.

  8. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  9. Slice into medallions and serve warm.
