Grilled Pork Tenderloin

🧂 Ingredients

• 1-1/2 lb pork tenderloin (trimmed, NOT pork loin)
• extra virgin olive oil or vegetable oil
• Seasonings: salt, pepper, garlic powder, steak rub, etc.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Heat grill on high until it reaches between 450-500 degrees then create two heat zones — a direct heat side, and an indirect heat side. If using a charcoal grill, scoot the hot charcoal over to one side of the grill. If using a gas grill, turn half or 1/3 of the burners to low. Read post above in its entirety for tips on two zone grilling.

2. 2

   Rub or brush the pork tenderloin all over with oil then season with desired seasonings. Add pork to the direct heat side of the grill then grill for 1-1/2 minutes on all four sides (envision the pork tenderloin as being rectangular vs circular) for a total of 6 minutes. Keep the lid closed between flipping.

3. 3

   Move the pork tenderloin to the indirect heat side of the grill then grill for 4 minutes on each of the two larger sides, for a total of 8 more minutes, or until an instant read thermometer or meat thermometer reads 145 degrees. Keep the lid closed between flipping.

4. 4

   Let pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
