Ingredients

  • 2 Pork Tenderloins (NOT pork loin- not as tender) 801 g
  • 6 cloves garlic minced (frozen cubes)
  • 1 lime zested and juiced (30 g juice)
  • 1 orange zested and juiced (50 g juice)
  • 1 Tbsp honey (21 g)
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 small bunch cilantro finely chopped (30 g)
  • ¼ cup mint leaves finely chopped (10 g)
  • 1 Tbsp oregano minced (or 2 tsp dried)

Instructions

  • Trim pork of any fat or silver skin and place in a large ziploc bag.
  • Add all of your marinade ingredients to a blender or small food processor. I prefer to pulse until combined but leave the herbs a little chunky. But you can also blend into a green marinade.
  • Pour over the pork and let rest on the counter for 30-60 minutes before grilling. Or store in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
  • Heat grill to pretty high heat and spray it carefully with avocado oil spray. Or you can carefully wipe some oil on the grates with paper towels.
  • Sprinkle tenderloins with additional kosher salt and pepper (not listed) and place on grill. Sear for about 2-3 minutes per side over the high heat, and then turn down to medium, and cover until internal temp reaches 140. It should take about 15-17 minutes TOTAL, including searing time, rotating every 5 minutes or so. Let rest for 10 minutes, tented with foil before slicing in!
