Steps:
- To make the rub, combine all the ingredients except the pork and oil in a small bowl. Place the pork in a zip-close plastic bag and add the rub. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag; turn to coat the meat. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. Meanwhile, spray the grill rack with nonstick spray; preheat the grill to high or prepare a hot fire. Place the pork on the grill rack. Grill, turning, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 160°F for medium, 18 - 22 minutes. Transfer the pork to a platter and cover loosely with foil; let stand about 10 minutes. Cut into 12 slices. Yields about 3 slices per serving.
Tips:
- For the tastiest results, use a high-quality pork tenderloin. Look for one that is firm and has a good amount of marbling.
- Be sure to marinate the pork tenderloin for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- When grilling the pork tenderloin, cook it over medium heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the meat is cooked through but still juicy.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the juices in the meat.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Conclusion:
Southwestern grilled pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The marinade, made with chili powder, cumin, and garlic, gives the pork a wonderful flavor. And the grilling process creates a smoky, charred exterior that is simply irresistible. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and healthy meal, give this recipe a try.
