Herb Grilled Pork Tenderloin
Herb Grilled Pork Tenderloin – a flavorful marinade with lemon juice and fresh herbs makes this pork tenderloin super moist and tender. Great on chicken and fish too!
We eat a lot of pork in this house. Lemon Garlic Pork Chops are one of my favorite easy dinners to make. Just add a salad or veggies and you are done. French Onion Pork Chops are another favorite. Pork is just such an easy and versatile protein. My husband would eat it over chicken any day of the week!
I personally love pork tenderloin. It is my go to for pork, because it is always so tender. It is great in the slow cooker for Barbecue Pulled Pork Sandwiches too. Plus it is pretty darn lean, so if you are watching fat or calories, it is a great choice. This Sheet Pan Pork Tenderloin is one of my favorites to make when it is too cold to grill!
This Herb Grilled Pork Tenderloin was on the first recipes I made on the blog. It was from a Taste of Home Healthy Cooking cookbook I got years ago. I am pretty sure it was the first time I ever grilled a whole pork tenderloin. It has been made quite a few times since in the summer. I like to serve it with BLT Pasta Salad and it is a great summer dinner.
The marinade for this pork is super easy to make. If you have fresh herbs use them, but dried work too. You can put this together in the morning and let the pork sit in the mixture all day. Then at dinner time you just have to grill the tenderloin. You could even make the marinade the night before and just add the pork in the morning before you head to work!

Congrats on the photo feature in Tastespotting. That's tough. I'd feel like a lottery winner as well 🙂
When I used to eat meat, pork tenderloin was always my favorite. Since I don't eat it now, my hubby gets to enjoy it. I'll have to try your recipe on him. I'm sure he'll love it.
