- For pork, thoroughly season tenderloin. Place on grill over medium-high heat; let cook 2-3 minutes. Using tongs, quarter-turn pork, leaving same side facing down; let cook 2-3 minutes. Turn pork over with tongs and repeat above steps. Cook until meat reaches internal temperature of 140-145 degrees on meat thermometer.
