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!

Steps:
- 1. In Ziploc bag combine paprika, brown sugar, cumin, chili powder and cayenne pepper. Rub over pork tenderloin and refrigerate from 2 hours to overnight.
- 2. In small bowl combine honey, barbecue sauce and Dijon mustard.
- 3. Preheat the grill to 425-450 degrees; lighting only half the burners. Add the pork tenderloin to the side of the grill that is lit and cover. Cook for about 5-6 minutes. Roll the tenderloin over and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes. Move the tenderloin to the side that is not lit. Baste with barbecue sauce mixture every 2-3 minutes. Continue cooking until the pork tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Remove the meat from the grill, plate and cover loosely with an aluminum foil tent. Let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Tips:
- Choose a tender pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is firm and has a light pink color. Avoid any tenderloins that are bruised or have a dark color.
- Trim the pork tenderloin: Remove any excess fat or silver skin from the tenderloin. This will help the rub adhere to the meat and will also prevent the fat from burning during grilling.
- Make the dry rub: Combine all of the ingredients for the dry rub in a small bowl. Mix well until the spices are evenly distributed.
- Apply the dry rub to the pork tenderloin: Rub the dry rub all over the pork tenderloin, making sure to coat it evenly. You can also use a pastry brush to apply the rub.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest: Allow the pork tenderloin to rest for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help the rub to penetrate the meat and will also allow the meat to come to room temperature, which will help it cook more evenly.
- Grill the pork tenderloin: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the pork tenderloin for 10-12 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Be sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork is cooked to the proper temperature.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest: Remove the pork tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Dry-rub grilled pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The combination of the smoky flavor from the grill and the flavorful dry rub creates a dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
