Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl or zip-lock bag, combine the zest and juice of two lemons, minced garlic cloves, chopped fresh herbs, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, kosher salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly to create a vibrant marinade.
  2. Add the trimmed pork tenderloins into the marinade, ensuring they are generously coated on all sides. Seal and refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours.
  3. Approximately 30 minutes before grilling, take the marinated pork out of the refrigerator to bring it to room temperature. Preheat your grill to a high heat of 500-550°F.
  4. Once the grill is hot, place the marinated pork tenderloins at an angle across the grill grates. Grill for 10 to 12 minutes, turning every 3 to 4 minutes.
  5. After grilling, transfer the pork tenderloin to a cutting board and let it rest for 3 minutes. Then slice into ½-inch medallions and serve with charred green beans.
