This recipe offers a delightful twist on a classic BBQ pork tenderloin, enhancing the flavors with a blend of aromatic herbs and a touch of citrus.
Combine the rosemary, garlic, shallot, pepper, olive oil, and juice from the lemon in a bowl.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
Place the pork tenderloin in a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Marinating overnight will enhance the flavors even more.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade, reserving the marinade for basting.
Ensure the grill is clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the pork tenderloin, turning every 5 minutes and basting with the reserved marinade, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfect doneness.
Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1/2-inch pieces. Serve with any remaining heated marinade.
Resting the meat allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy result.
