Description

This Grilled Garlic Lime Pork Tenderloin is a quick and elegant weeknight dinner that delivers bold, fresh flavors with minimal effort. The pork is soaked in a vibrant marinade of fresh lime juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and olive oil, which tenderizes the meat while infusing it with bright citrus notes. Grilling creates a beautiful char on the outside while keeping the inside moist and succulent. It pairs perfectly with roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad. Ideal for summer barbecues or any evening you want a restaurant-quality meal without the fuss, this dish is sure to become a family favorite.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl or blender, combine the chopped garlic cloves, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, fresh lime juice, and olive oil to create the marinade. Whisk or blend until well combined.
  2. Place the pork tenderloins in a large sealable plastic bag or a shallow glass dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
  3. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air, or cover the dish. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor, turning occasionally.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400&# 194;°F (204ðC)). If using a grill pan, preheat over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
  5. Remove the pork from the refrigerator about 20-30 minutes before grilling to bring it closer to room temperature. Drain off excess marinade.
  6. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the pork tenderloins on the grill. Cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 145ðF (63ðC) for medium or 160ðF (71ðC) for well-done.
  7. Transfer the cooked pork to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain into medallions. Serve immediately.
