Ingredients

• 1 pound Pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using).

Step 2

Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.

Step 3

Refrigerate the pork tenderloin for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Place the pork tenderloin on the preheated grill and cook for 18-20 minutes, turning every 5-6 minutes to ensure even cooking. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the pork tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
