For the Pork:

• 1 lb pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch medallions

Instructions

4. Grill the Pork Medallions:
   • Remove the pork from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and lightly season with salt.
   • Place the medallions on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
   • Brush with leftover marinade during grilling for extra flavor and glaze.
5. Rest and Serve:
   • Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
