Pork Tenderloin Marinated In Garlic Lemon And Oregano With Greek Salad Food

MARINATED GREEK PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Combine marinade ingredients in a 2 cup measure and whisk until combined. I use a fork to whisk it together.
• Place tenderloin in a zip top bag. Pour 1/2 of marinade over pork. The remaining marinade will be our finishing sauce.
• Remove all the air in the bag and close. Swish it around so the marinade covers the tenderloin. Marinade for at least 1 hour, 2 - 3 hours is better, and 4 hours is perfect. Don't let it go for more than overnight or it will start to get mushy.
• Remove tenderloin from the fridge and let sit at room temperature while grill is heating.
• Preheat the grill to medium high heat.
• Remove tenderloin from bag allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard marinade.
• Grill over direct heat for 15 - 20 minutes, covered, turning once halfway through. The temp should be at least 137 degrees and not more than 140 degrees. It will continue to cook as it rests and a slight pink interior is desired.
• Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Spoon any sauce from pan over pork. Serve.

• Remove skillet from oven and check the temperature by placing a meat thermometer into thickest part of loin. It should read 137* - 140 degrees. If not, place back in the oven for a few minutes.
