Moist, super delicious, and hearty grilled pork tenderloin. This is your perfect option if you are looking for an easy yet the best healthy grilled pork tenderloin for a fancy dinner or entertaining. The marinade ingredients are made with only pantry staples, and the grilling process guarantees a faultless pork tenderloin always.

Ingredients

2 tsp minced garlic

1 ½-2 lbs pork tenderloin

2 tsp honey

¼ c. oil

½ tsp salt

1 tsp Italian herb seasoning blend – or ¼ tsp each dried basil, thyme, oregano, and parsley or rosemary

2 tsp Dijon mustard

juice of ½ lemon

⅛ tsp cracked black pepper – or a pinch of finely ground black pepper

How to make Best Ever Healthy Grilled Pork Tenderloin

Step 1: Using a paper towel, pat the pork tenderloin dry.

Step 2: Mix the lemon juice, garlic, dried herbs, oil, salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, and honey until well blended. In a large ziplock bag, pour half of this mixture. Add the tenderloin to the bag. Make sure to press the excess air out before sealing the bag. Set the bag aside and chill the tenderloin for about 30 minutes.

Step 3: Oil the grates of the grill and preheat to medium.

Step 4: Transfer the pork to the preheated grill using tongs. Close the grill and cook the pork tenderloin for about 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the meat a couple of times to ensure even cooking. Halfway through grilling, brush all sides of pork tenderloin with the reserved marinade. When the internal temperature of the pork tenderloin reaches 145 degrees the pork is done.

Step 5: To a cutting board, transfer the grilled pork tenderloin and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Note:

If using more than 2 1/2 inches thick pork tenderloin, slice it in half lengthwise to make two thinner pieces of tenderloin before proceeding with the recipe.
