Mix well until all the ingredients are well integrated. This marinade not only infuses the pork with rich herbaceous flavors but also helps to tenderize it as it sits.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Marinate the Pork<\/h3>\n<p>Place the trimmed pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For an intense flavor, marinate for up to 2 hours.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Preheat the Grill<\/h3>\n<p>As the pork marinades, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, set up a two-zone fire for direct and indirect grilling. The grill should reach a temperature of approximately 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C).<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Grill the Pork<\/h3>\n<p>Remove the pork from the marinade and allow any excess drip off. Place the tenderloin directly on the grill grates. Grill the pork for about 10 minutes on one side. Turn it over and continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness \u2014 you\u2019re looking for an internal temperature of 145\u00b0F (63\u00b0C).<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Rest and Slice<\/h3>\n<p>Once cooked, remove the pork tenderloin from the grill and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes. Resting the meat helps the juices redistribute throughout, ensuring every slice is moist and tender. <\/p>\n<h3>Step 6: Serve<\/h3>\n<p>Slice the grilled pork tenderloin into medallions. For an elegant presentation, garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and serve with optional lemon wedges for a dash of acidity that brightens the flavors.<\/p>\n<h2>Nutritional Information<\/h2>\n<p>Approximate calorie count per serving is 240 calories, considering a 4-ounce portion size of pork without additional garnishes or sides.<\/p>\n<p>This grilled pork tenderloin pairs wonderfully with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh garden salad for a complete wholesome meal.
