This grilled pork recipe has a sweet, mustardy, marinade that makes light flavorful coating for grilling. You don’t need a sauce for this due to the marinade, but keep an eye on the grill as it is easy to dry these out.

Mustard-Grilled Pork
This is a very quick and easy main course. Be careful not to overcook, however as it can go from perfect to too dry very quickly. Even when this is done right, it does tend to look dry, but really isn't. And there is no extra sauce to pass along side, so you really want to ensure the pork is just cooked through, but no more.
Ingredients
- ½ cup Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup mayonnaise or vegenaise
- 1 tbsp tarragon, fresh, chopped
- 1 tbsp brown sugar, light, packed
- 2 lbs boneless pork loin, trimmed cut into ½ inch thick slices
Instructions
- Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Turn on heat to medium-high.
- Whisk mustard, mayonnaise, tarragon, and brown sugar in medium bowl. Brush mustard sauce generously on both sides of pork cutlets.
- Grill pork until just cooked through and firm to touch, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to plates.
Notes
To make this egg free, you can substitute vegenaise for the mayo.

Super easy and quick main course. You may not want to grill it until right before you are ready to serve as it cooks fast. The mustard does tend to make a lot of smoke, so be sure your fan is on high if you are not grilling this outside.
