Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Heat the gas grill to medium-high heat and oil the grill grates.
  2. On a cutting board, cut pork crosswise into 1/4 inch thick diagonal slices.
  3. Combine olive oil and next 5 ingredients, rub over pork, coating well.
  4. Grill pork 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until internal temperature has reached 145 degrees F. Let the pork rest a few minutes. Serve immediately.

Notes

- For the most tender results, avoid overcooking the pork; its internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption, then rest for a few minutes to redistribute juices.
- If using dried oregano instead of fresh, use 1 teaspoon of dried oregano per 1 tablespoon of fresh, as dried herbs are more concentrated.
- I've found that cutting the tenderloin into uniform 1/4 inch thick slices ensures even cooking and prevents smaller pieces from drying out while larger ones are still cooking.
