Ingredients
  • 6 lg Garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cups Fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 cups Olive oil
Directions
  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
