Instructions
Make the marinade. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, garlic, sea salt, black pepper and smoked paprika until combined.
Marinate the pork. Add the pork tenderloins to a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork and turn to coat. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours.
Heat the grill. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F. Clean and oil the grill grates.
Grill the pork. Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the remaining marinade. Place the pork on the grill and cook for 12 to 16 minutes total, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until the pork is browned on all sides and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
Rest and serve. Transfer the pork to a clean cutting board and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Slice against the grain and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Serve warm and enjoy!
