Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mediterranean Grilled Pork Tenderloin.
Step 1
To start your delicious pork tenderloin marinade, grab a large resealable plastic bag and pour in the fresh lime juice, olive oil, sliced garlic, salt, and dried oregano.
Step 2
Seal the bag tightly and give it a good shake until everything is well combined.
Step 3
Now, take a moment to taste your marinade.
Step 4
If it’s a bit too tangy for your liking, simply add a splash more olive oil.
Step 5
If you’re craving a little extra zing, squeeze in some more lime juice.
Step 6
You want the garlic and salt to enhance the flavor without stealing the show.
Step 7
Next, gently place the pork tenderloins into the bag, seal it up again, and give it a gentle turn to ensure the meat is evenly coated in that zesty marinade.
Step 8
Pop the bag in the refrigerator and let the flavors mingle for anywhere between 2 to 5 hours—this is where the magic happens! Once your tenderloins have soaked up all that deliciousness, take them out of the bag and shake off any excess marinade, then toss the leftover marinade away.
Step 9
Now it’s time to fire up your outdoor grill! Preheat it to medium heat and give the grate a light oiling to keep things from sticking.
Step 10
Place the marinated tenderloins on the grill and let them cook for about 20 to 30 minutes, turning them once for even grilling.
Step 11
To ensure they’re perfectly cooked, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached at least 145°F (63°C).
Step 12
Once they’re done, you’ll have juicy, flavorful pork tenderloins ready to impress your family and friends! Enjoy every bite!.
