A flavorful Mediterranean-inspired pork tenderloin recipe, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and minced garlic to create the marinade.
Use fresh lemon juice for a more vibrant flavor.
Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Marinating overnight allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
Ensure the grill is clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the pork tenderloin for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked to the correct temperature.
Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
Resting the meat allows the juices to redistribute, keeping it tender.
