Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pork tenderloins
1 cup store-bought barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
Grilled Pineapple Pepper Relish, recipe follows, for serving
1/2 pineapple, cored and sliced into rings
5 tablespoons olive oil
3 jalapeños, halved and seeded (or leave some seeds for more heat)
1 poblano pepper, halved and seeded
1 large red bell pepper, quartered
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon agave syrup
1 lime, zested and juiced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Mix the paprika, brown sugar, garlic and onion powders, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Season the pork tenderloins liberally with the seasoning mixture.
  • Pour 1/3 cup of the barbecue sauce into a small bowl for brushing on the seared pork and reserve the remaining 2/3 cup for serving.
  • Add the olive oil to a skillet and place over medium heat. When the oil is hot, sear the pork until nicely browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the pork to the prepared baking sheet and brush with some of the barbecue sauce.
  • Transfer to the oven and cook, brushing with the barbecue sauce and turning every 5 minutes, until the meat is sticky, charred and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Turn the oven to broil at 500 degrees F and broil until bubbly on top, 1 to 2 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve topped with the Grilled Pineapple-Pepper Relish and the reserved barbecue sauce on the side.
  • Heat a grill pan or grill over medium heat.
  • Lightly brush the pineapple with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and add to the grill pan. Toss the jalapeños, poblanos and bell peppers with the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and add to the grill pan. Grill the pineapple and peppers until slightly charred on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove to a cutting board. Chop into small dice and add to a bowl.
