Instructions
1
Pat the tenderloins dry with a paper towel and brush the olive oil over all sides.
2
Combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper in a small bowl, then rub evenly over all sides of the pork.
3
Preheat the grill to medium high heat, or about 400 degrees. Place the pork tenderloin on the preheated grill and sear on both sides until well charred and it releases easily, about 3 minutes per side. Continue to cook another 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the tenderloin registers 145 degrees. Be sure to check for doneness after 15 minutes to prevent it from over cooking. Remove from heat, cover loosely with foil and let stand 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Slice, serve and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Bring to Room Temperature 🌡️Remove pork tenderloin from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling to ensure even cooking throughout and prevent a cold center while the exterior sears.
- Dry Brine with Sea Salt 🧂Season with sea salt 12-24 hours ahead of time; the salt penetrates deep into the meat, enhancing flavor and promoting a juicier, more tender result than last-minute seasoning.
- Create a Two-Zone Heat Setup 🔥Sear the tenderloin over high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, then move to a medium or cooler zone to finish cooking gently, preventing charring while achieving perfect medium-rare doneness.
- Use a Meat Thermometer for Precision 📊Insert a thermometer into the thickest part of the meat and remove it at 130-135°F for medium-rare; it will climb 5°F while resting, preventing overcooking and ensuring restaurant-quality results.
- Rest and Tent with Foil 🥩Let the grilled tenderloin rest for 8-10 minutes tented loosely with foil, allowing juices to redistribute throughout the meat and resulting in maximum moisture and tenderness in every bite.
