Ingredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup very finely chopped garlic
- Juice of 1 orange
- 1 tablespoon very finely chopped fresh marjoram
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 pork tenderloins (3/4 to 1 pound each), trimmed
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
- Fresh Fruit Salsa, for serving
Directions
-
Combine olive oil, garlic, orange juice, marjoram, and orange zest in a resealable plastic bag; add tenderloins, seal, and marinate, refrigerated, overnight.
-
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove tenderloin from marinade, discarding marinade. Wipe excess marinade from pork and season with salt and pepper. Add pork to grill and cook, turning every 4 minutes, until grill marks appear and internal temperature of pork reaches 135 to 140 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 21 minutes total. Set aside and let cool completely.

Slice cooled pork crosswise into thin slices. Serve with fruit salsa.

This is an AWESOME recipe!! It is SUPER easy. The pork is really moist and has delicious flavor! The salsa is excellent and highly recommended! This is a terrific recipe to make and impress your friends and family. They will think you are an amazing chef! I will defiantly make this again!!
This was one of the best pork tenderloin recipes I have ever tasted. Moist, full of flavor,and low calorie too!! HIghly recomend this one.
Great for summer! I grilled mine on the BBQ and didn't bother to wipe off the marinade. The grill gave it a nice flavor! Goes great with a coconut rice and a springy salad with fruit and nuts.

Jellybean,
What else did you serve with this dish? I am putting the pork in the marinade tonight for tomorrow night's dinner. Not sure what veggies or starch would compliment the fruit salsa.
Thanks!
This was a very easy dish to prepare and everyone raved about it. The pork was very tender and the fresh fruit salsa went with it perfectly. A keeper.
