Share
Looking for a zesty dinner that's easy yet classy? This Rosemary Lemon Grilled Pork Tenderloin is your answer! With a marinade that sings with lemon and rosemary, it’s the perfect dish to impress without the stress.
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp olive oil, plus extra for brushing
- 1 ½ Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary or 1 Tbsp dried rosemary
- 1 ½ Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- ¾ tsp salt
- ¾ tsp ground black pepper
- 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 lb each)
- 2 lemons, quartered and seeded
To Make:
- Marinate with Love: Whisk together mustard, olive oil, rosemary, honey, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Pour marinade into a zip-top bag, add the pork, and toss to coat. Let it chill in the fridge for 4-12 hours.
- Grill Time: Crank up the grill to medium heat. Brush the lemon quarters with a dash of olive oil. Once the pork is marinated to perfection, remove it from the bag and grill for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temp reached at least 145°F.
- Lemon Love: While the pork is grilling, place the oiled lemons cut-side down on the grill. Grill until they’re beautifully caramelized, about 8 minutes.
- Rest & Serve: Let the tenderloins rest on a carving board for 5 minutes before slicing crosswise. Drizzle with the grilled lemon juice for that final zesty kick and serve!
