Juicy Grilled Pork Tenderloin (Easy)

Step 1

Trim any excess fat off the outside of your tenderloin (optional). Let your pork rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before grilling.

Step 2

Marinate pork, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. I recommend marinating your pork tenderloin right before grilling. The tenderloin is very “porous” so it soaks up the marinade quickly. Preheat grill to high heat.

Step 3

Grill the pork tenderloin for about 4 minutes a side (4 sides total). Before grilling the final side, check the temperature of the thickest part of the tenderloin to see how close it is to 145°F (done temperature). Grill pork for 0 to 6 more minutes to reach an internal temperature of 145°F (depends on thickness of pork). Total grill time is 12-18 minutes.

Step 4

Let tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain (perpendicular to the muscle fibers) with a sharp chef’s knife.
