Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp dried oregano, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper in a bowl until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Pat the 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin dry with paper towels, then rub the marinade evenly over all surfaces, pressing gently to adhere.
  3. Step 3: Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours (minimum) or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
  4. Step 4: Preheat grill to medium-high (375°F). Remove pork from marinade, shaking off excess, and place on grill. Cook 12-15 minutes total, turning every 3-4 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 145°F and surface is deeply browned with grill marks.
