🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Grilled Tenderloin:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.5 lbs pork or beef tenderloin, trimmed
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
For the Creamy Dill Sauce:
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt & pepper to taste
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Tenderloin
Rub the tenderloin with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to absorb flavor.
2. Preheat the Grill
Heat your grill to medium-high. Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking and ensure even searing.
3. Grill the Tenderloin
Place tenderloin on the grill and cook for 4–6 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer for best results.
4. Make the Creamy Dill Sauce
While the meat grills, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, dill, lemon juice, garlic, and a dash of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and refrigerate until serving.
5. Rest and Slice
Remove tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into medallions. Serve warm with a generous spoonful of the creamy dill sauce.
