Main Ingredients

Optional Marinade

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade (Optional)

    In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well and set aside if you choose to use the marinade.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pork Tenderloin

    Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a nice sear.

  3. 3

    Make the Garlic-Rosemary Mixture

    Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh rosemary. In a bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a paste.

Marinating

  1. 4

    Marinate the Pork (Optional)

    If using the marinade, place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork and seal or cover. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for best flavor.

  2. 5

    Apply Garlic-Rosemary Mixture

    If not marinating, rub the garlic-rosemary mixture all over the pork tenderloin, making sure to cover all sides evenly.

Grilling

  1. 6

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

  2. 7

    Grill the Pork Tenderloin

    Place the pork tenderloin on the grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

  3. 8

    Rest the Meat

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful tenderloin.

Serving

  1. 9

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve warm. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
