Directions

1
In a large glass bowl, combine the juice from 1 large lemon, 3/4 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 3/4 cup dry sherry, 4-5 crushed garlic cloves, 1 1/8 cups chopped fresh parsley, 1 1/2 tablespoons dry mustard, and 3 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning.
2
Whisk the marinade ingredients together until well blended and allow the mixture to sit for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
3
Place the 2 1/4 lb pork tenderloin into a 1-gallon heavy-duty plastic freezer bag.
4
Give the marinade mixture a final stir, then pour it over the pork in the bag, ensuring the meat is completely covered.
5
Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, turning occasionally to coat evenly.
6
Preheat a charcoal grill to medium heat.
7
Remove the pork from the marinade, discarding the excess liquid, and grill for approximately 7 minutes per side, or 12-14 minutes total, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the pork is just done inside.
8
Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
