Easy Grilled Lemon Garlic Pork Tenderloin

This pork tenderloin is marinated in a zesty lemon garlic mixture, then grilled to perfection for a tender and juicy result. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 pound pork tenderloin
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 lemon sliced for garnish
Fresh parsley chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Pork: Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the Pork: Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the tenderloin on the grill and cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Rest and Slice: Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
Serve: Slice the pork tenderloin and serve garnished with lemon slices and chopped parsley, if desired.
