Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin cut into 8 slices 1” thick
- dried rosemary crushed
- garlic powder
- kosher salt & fresh ground pepper
For the BBQ Glaze:
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Frank's Red Hot sauce or other hot sauce
Instructions
1 hour before cook time:
- Remove any silver skin and trim excess fat if needed. If you have a lean cut of meat this may not be necessary. Cut the tenderloin into 8 slices that are 1 inch thickness.
- Sprinkle the both sides of each slice of pork generously with garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cover with Saran and let set in fridge until 20 minutes before cooking. 20 minutes before grilling, let the meat sit at room temperature.
- Add the glaze ingredients to a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Use half the sauce for brushing the pork while grilling and the other half as a side when serving.
Cup of Yum
Grilling the Tenderloin:
- Grill meat with Indirect/Medium Heat, meaning if you have a three burner grill, put meat in center and only have the side burners on. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes on each side and glaze each side with the BBQ sauce after turning. Meat is done when internal temp is at least 145℉.
- Let meat sit for 5 minutes before cutting into it.
- Serve with remaining glaze on the side.
Notes
- About four to six hours before you want to eat, cut the pork tenderloin into one inch thick slices and toss them with some dried rosemary, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Let it sit, covered in the refrigerator, until about 20 minutes before you want to start grilling.
- Take the pork out of the fridge and let it rest on the counter for about 20 minutes before grilling.
- Brush the deliciously sweet barbecue sauce over the pork as it cooks and then again after it's done.
