Ingredients
– 1-1/2 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed
– Oil for brushing, such as olive oil or vegetable oil
– Seasonings to taste, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, steak rub, or a preferred spice blend
Instructions
1-First, begin by trimming any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and patting it dry with paper towels to ensure proper searing.
2-Then, prepare the marinade by mixing olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and chopped rosemary in a bowl.
3-Coat the pork evenly with the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing flavors to penetrate.
4-Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400ยฐF) and ensure grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
5-Place the pork tenderloin on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every 4-5 minutes for even cooking and to develop grill marks.
6-Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; it should reach 145ยฐF for safe consumption, which aligns with grilling it for a total of about 14 minutes as per expert advice.
7-Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes, allowing juices to redistribute for a juicy texture.
8-Finally, slice the grilled pork tenderloin thinly against the grain and serve immediately with preferred sides.
9-For dietary adaptations, consider grilling vegan alternatives like seitan similarly, adjusting cooking times as needed.
