Ingredients:
- 2 lbs pork tenderloin, trimmed of silverskin
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tsp fresh parsley, minced
Instructions:
- Pat the pork tenderloin completely dry with paper towels to ensure a proper sear.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
- Coat the tenderloin thoroughly in the marinade and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes while the grill heats.
- Preheat the grill to high heat (approximately 450°F / 230°C).
- Place the tenderloin on the hottest part of the grate and sear for 2–3 minutes per side, rotating every few minutes, until a deep brown, caramelized crust forms on all surfaces.
- Move the meat to a medium-heat zone (indirect heat) and close the lid. Roast for 10–15 minutes, using a meat thermometer to remove the roast exactly when the thickest part hits 140°F (60°C).
- Immediately place the softened butter and minced parsley on top of the hot meat, allowing it to melt into the crust.
- Transfer to a carving board, tent loosely with foil, and rest for 10 minutes before slicing into 1-inch medallions.
