Combine the rub ingredients and apply to your pork tenderloin. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Right before putting on the grill, mix the glaze ingredients and apply to the pork.

You will be using the indirect and direct cooking method to cook this pork tenderloin. You are essentially going to “bake” in your grill much like you would in the oven, and then finish the pork on direct heat at the end to achieve nice char marks. By searing the meat at the end and not the beginning, we are using what is called the “reverse sear method”. This tends to leave the meat more juicy than searing in the beginning.

Create a direct and indirect grilling zone. You want your grill temperature to be at 350 degrees- one or two burners on and one off (where you will place the meat). On a charcoal grill, your coals will be moved to one side and you will have the pork on the side without coals.

Cook the pork tenderloin on a well oiled grill on the indirect side until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees (this will take approximately 20 to 25 minutes). Next, grill the pork on direct heat for 3 minutes each side until it obtains nice char marks.

Tent under foil for 10 minutes so juices can reabsorb for serving. I paired mine with a nice big salad and texas toast. This is also wonderful sliced and put on Hawaiian king rolls for mini- sandwiches that can be topped with a tropical cole slaw. My chipotle cilantro coleslaw pairs well with this dish!
