Recipe type: BBQ
Cuisine: Greek
Serves: 5
Ingredients
  • 1 med. lemon (the zest and the juice)
  • 5 med. garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 TBSP. dry Greek oregano
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1½ lbs. pork tenderloin (two pieces)
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. In a small blender, combine the lemon zest, juice, garlic, oregano and olive oil. Blend until smooth. Put the pork in a re-sealable plastic bag, add the marinade and turn to coat. Refrigerate the meat for 2 hours and up to 4 hours.
  2. Take the tenderloin out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for half an hour. Remove it from the marinade and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a grill to high. Grill the tenderloin until golden brown on all sides, making sure not to overcook. The internal temperature should be 140°F to 145° F in the thickest part of the meat. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and cover it loosely with foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
