Ingredients
1½ to 2 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed
Extra virgin olive oil, vegetable oil, or avocado oil
Seasonings such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, steak rub, or preferred spices
Optional glaze or marinade ingredients (honey, garlic, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Italian herbs)
Instructions
1. Prepare a marinade if desired by mixing lemon juice, garlic, herbs, oil, salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, and honey. Marinate the pork for 30 minutes to 24 hours, reserving half for brushing during grilling.
2. Preheat grill to 450-500°F and set up two heat zones. Oil the grill grates.
3. Pat the pork dry and brush with oil. Season with chosen spices. Apply glaze near the end of cooking if desired.
4. Sear the pork on the direct heat side for about 1½ minutes per side, totaling about 6 minutes.
5. Move to indirect heat and continue grilling for 4 minutes per larger side, flipping once, until the internal temperature is 145°F.
6. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
7. Slice into medallions and serve, optionally with grilled vegetables.
