Ingredients
Serves 4
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
Directions
- Sprinkle salt and pepper generously over the pork tenderloin, ensuring even coverage.
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme to create a marinade. Rub the marinade over the pork tenderloin and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the tenderloin on the grill. Grill for approximately 7-10 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- Allow the tenderloin to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain juices.
