Quick Summary

This recipe focuses on a quick brine-like dry rub and high-heat grilling to lock in juices. You will have a lean, protein-packed dinner ready in under 45 minutes.

Ingredients

2 pork tenderloins (about 1lb each)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, minced
1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped

2 cloves garlic, finely grated
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Method

1. Prep: Remove the silver skin from the tenderloins. Pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Season: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, herbs, garlic, and spices. Rub this mixture evenly over the meat.
3. Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high (400°F). Sear the pork for 3–4 minutes per side.
4. Finish: Lower heat to medium. Grill for another 8–10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
5. Rest: Remove from grill and let rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing.

Stewart's Secret: Don't skip the rest. Letting the meat sit allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite stays succulent instead of drying out.
