Luckily, the good folks at Farmer John have us covered! Their California Natural Fresh Pork Tenderloin is thin enough that it cooks quickly but thick enough to hold in moisture, so you end up with a delicious tender cut of meat that's the perfect base for any style of dish.
Farmer John California Natural Fresh Pork is made from 100% fresh pork, has no artificial ingredients, and comes in a variety of cuts, including boneless loins, chops, ribs, ground pork, tenderloins and more.
I love all of the choices! We often make amazing BBQ Pork Ribs too! You can check out this easy recipe.

Add the marinade ingredients to a bowl and mix well.
How do you cook pork tenderloin on a gas grill?
To cook pork tenderloin on a gas grill, you need to preheat your grill to 400 degrees. I like to heat the grill to temperature, then use a grill brush to make sure the grill slats are clean.
Slice or cut the tenderloin into smaller pieces before cooking. Add the marinated pork tenderloin directly to the grill slats.
Close the lid and grill for 10 minutes. Open the grill lid and use tongs to flip the tenderloin slices over. Cook another 10 minutes and check the internal temperature with a thermometer.
What internal temperature for cooked pork?
Cook the pork tenderloin until the internal temperature measures 145 degrees.
Can you grill pork tenderloin on foil?
I like to cook the pork tenderloin directly on the grill, as shown above, but you can easily cook the pork tenderloin on foil if that is easier for you.
Here is a close up of the meat so you can see how juicy this pork tenderloin turned out. This recipe is naturally gluten free, and is paleo as well!

Hi Sandi,
I notice the serving size in the nutrition chart shows as 1g, do you mean 100g?
Thanks
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Glenn, thanks for pointing that out. It looks like that is auto-filled by the calorie counter. I fixed this to say serving. Hope you have a great day.
