Directions
1.
Heat a charcoal or gas grill to 500°F and coat the grates with oil.
2.
Grill the pork tenderloins for 90 seconds per side over direct heat.
3.
Move the pork to indirect heat, close the grill lid, and continue cooking for an additional 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
4.
Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes.
5.
While the pork rests, lay the bacon in a single layer in a cast-iron skillet and place it over direct heat.
6.
Cook the bacon until crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes.
7.
Remove the bacon from the skillet and transfer it to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
8.
Once the bacon is cool enough to handle, roughly chop it and combine it with parsley, almonds, garlic, and lemon zest in a medium bowl to make the gremolata.
9.
Cut the rested pork tenderloin into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
10.
Serve the pork slices topped with the bacon gremolata.
