Equipment
- gas grill
- instant-read meat thermometer (If you plan to use a leave-in probe meat thermometer that stays in the meat while it cooks, verify that it will tolerate a high temperature up to 600℉, or the probe will break.)
Ingredients
- 2 pork tenderloins about 2 pounds
- 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Season pork tenderloin with salt and pepper.
- Start the grill and let it preheat on high for 5 minutes to a temperature of 550-600℉. You will know it's ready when you can only hold your hand for 2-3 seconds when held 3 inches above the grill grates.
- Place the pork tenderloins on the grill rack and sear directly over the burners set on high with the lid closed for 5-8 minutes, depending on the thickness. Look for good caramelization and grill marks before flipping.
- Flip the tenderloins and sear the other side with the lid closed until the internal temperature is 140℉ in the thickest part of the tenderloin. This will take about 5-8 minutes.
- Remove the tenderloins from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing them into 1-inch-thick slices. Serve.
Notes
If you like your pork tenderloin well-done, leave it on the grill until the internal temperature is 150℉.
Reheating Instructions:
Oven - Wrap in foil or use an oven-safe dish, covered, and reheat in a 350℉ oven for 10-15 minutes.
Microwave - You can also reheat, covered, in the microwave for 20-second increments until warmed.
