Lemon-Garlic Pork Tenderloin

We had the tenderloin with rice pilaf and a mixed green salad. We entertained our neighbors this evening and the meal was a success!! A great evening had by all!
Post a comment for the recipe!!



Ingredients: 

1 1/2 - 2 lb pork loin
salt and pepper
3 tbsp garlic powder
lemon juice of two lemons
zest of one lemon
2 tbsp onion powder
2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp dried oregano

Directions:

1. Liberally salt and pepper the pork loin, set aside.

2. Combine the remaining six ingredients in a small bowl. The consistency should be that of a thick paste. Rub the entire pork loin surface (top, bottom, and sides). Set aside to marinate.

3. Heat the grill for direct cooking to high (500-525 ℉). Place loin on grill, meat side first - allowing the meat to be seared, locking in juices. Fat side should be done last. Cook on high for about 15-20 minutes. Turn only once during cooking, half way through.

4. To serve, let the pork rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Slice in 1/2" pieces against the grain.
