Easy Grilled Pork Tenderloin w/Dry Rub & Mop Sauce image

I was really nervous to grill pork tenderloins for the first time! But found out that they are actually very easy! I was so afraid I'd overcook them and they'd turn out dry, but they were tender, VERY juicy and succulent! We will be having this often throughout the summer! *Remember, pork is DONE when slightly pink in the middle....

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

FOR DRY RUB:
1/4 c smoked sweet paprika
2 Tbsp dried thyme
2 Tbsp dried crushed rosemary
2 Tbsp garlic powder (not garlic salt)
1/2 tsp coarse ground black pepper
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cayenne
FOR THE MOP SAUCE:
1 c Heinz ketchup
1/3 c honey
1/4 c apple juice
2 Tbsp cider vinegar
1/2 tsp soy sauce (i use regular for this, not low-sodium)
REST OF INGREDIENTS:
2 pork tenderloins, about 3 lbs. total, 2 1/2 lbs. ok
1/2 c of the dry rub (above)
1 c of the mop sauce (above)

Steps:

  • 1. In small bowl, mix dry rub ingredients and set aside. Cut off any excess fat from the pork and remove any sinew (the tough fibrous tissue). Cover the pork tenderloins on all sides with dry rub and refrigerate overnight or for at least 8 hours. (*I coated them each on 2 separate sheets of plastic wrap and wrapped them tightly, placed them in a 9x11 baking dish and marinated them overnight.) In small bowl, mix mop sauce ingredients. Heat in microwave until hot to melt honey. Stir well, set outside by grill. Pre heat gas grill 5 minutes before cooking. Place pork tenderloins on hot grill (medium-high) with tongs. Close lid and grill the pork for 5 minutes, turn over and grill 5 minutes longer. Turn again and heavily baste with mop sauce, close lid and grill 5 minutes. Turn over, baste again and close lid for 5 more minutes. (*Total cooking time is 20 minutes.) Remove to a baking dish, cover, and let rest 5 minutes. Remove to cutting board and slice to serve.
  • 2. *Leftover rub and mop sauce is also good on chicken, wings, and fish!

This recipe was easy to follow and the pork turned out great. I used a gas grill and the pork cooked evenly. The sauce was also very good. I will definitely be making this again.
