01 Step

Recipe View In a large resealable plastic bag, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and oregano. Seal the bag and shake vigorously to combine. Taste the marinade and adjust as needed: add a touch more oil if too tart, or a splash more lime juice for extra zing. The garlic and salt should be present but not overpowering. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Place the pork tenderloins into the bag, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade. Seal the bag tightly and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably up to 5 hours, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat. (2-5 hours marinating)

Recipe View Remove the tenderloins from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade responsibly. (2 minutes)

04 Step

Recipe View Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat (about 350-450°F or 175-230°C) and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)

05 Step

Recipe View Grill the tenderloins on the preheated grill for 20 to 30 minutes, turning once halfway through, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin to ensure accuracy. (20-30 minutes)

For best results, use fresh lime juice for the most vibrant flavor.
Don't over-marinate the pork, as the lime juice can start to break down the proteins and make the tenderloin mushy. 2-5 hours is ideal.
Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes after grilling before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product.
Serve with a side of Greek salad, roasted vegetables, or couscous for a complete and satisfying meal.
