Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 lb pork tenderloin trimmed
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp cumin
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
SAUCE
1 Tbsp honey
2/3 c kansas city style barbecue sauce
2 tsp dijon mustard

Steps:

  • 1. In Ziploc bag combine paprika, brown sugar, cumin, chili powder and cayenne pepper. Rub over pork tenderloin and refrigerate from 2 hours to overnight.
  • 2. In small bowl combine honey, barbecue sauce and Dijon mustard.
  • 3. Preheat the grill to 425-450 degrees; lighting only half the burners. Add the pork tenderloin to the side of the grill that is lit and cover. Cook for about 5-6 minutes. Roll the tenderloin over and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes. Move the tenderloin to the side that is not lit. Baste with barbecue sauce mixture every 2-3 minutes. Continue cooking until the pork tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Remove the meat from the grill, plate and cover loosely with an aluminum foil tent. Let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • Choose a good quality pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is firm and pink in color. Avoid any tenderloins that are discolored or have a slimy texture.
  • Trim the pork tenderloin: Remove any excess fat from the tenderloin. This will help the rub adhere to the meat and will also help to prevent flare-ups on the grill.
  • Make the dry rub: Combine all of the ingredients for the dry rub in a small bowl. Mix well.
  • Rub the pork tenderloin with the dry rub: Apply the dry rub to the pork tenderloin, making sure to coat it evenly. You can use your hands or a pastry brush to do this.
  • Let the pork tenderloin marinate: Place the pork tenderloin in a covered container and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors of the dry rub to penetrate the meat.
  • Preheat your grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you are using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are white-hot.
  • Grill the pork tenderloin: Grill the pork tenderloin for 10-12 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest: Remove the pork tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Dry-rub grilled pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The dry rub gives the pork tenderloin a flavorful crust, while the grilling process helps to keep the meat moist and tender. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
