Description

A straightforward recipe for grilling pork tenderloin to a juicy finish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 to 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  3. Rub the oil mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pork tenderloin.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
  5. Place the tenderloin on the preheated grill.
  6. Grill for about 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
  7. Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • For best results, use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
  • You can substitute dried herbs like thyme or rosemary for paprika if you prefer.
