Ingredients
- LEMON BASIL MARINADE:
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4-1/3 cup sugar
- 5-6 fresh basil leaves chopped
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 lemon 1/3 cup
- Dash of salt
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- 2 boneless pork tenderloins
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients until smooth. You can add the ingredients in a blender if you wish or use a hand wand for ease. Add half of the marinade in a gallon ziploc bag and add the boneless tenderloins to the bag. Place in the fridge until ready to grill. Keep the extra marinade in the fridge until serving.
- When you are ready to grill the meat, remove the pork from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. Heat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and place the tenderloins on the grill.
- Grill on all sides until the pork is lightly pink in the center but not cooked all the way through. Remove the pork from the grill and let rest on a plate for 5-10 minutes.
- When ready to serve, slice the pork tenderloin and place on a plate. Drizzle the rest of the marinade all over the pork and garnish with more fresh basil. Serve warm over rice or roasted potatoes.
