Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter
1 lb pork tenderloin, cut into 2-inch medallions
1 cup baby carrots
1 large onion, cut into eighths
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
3 cloves chopped garlic
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, add the medallions and quickly brown. Add the onions and carrots and cook until the onions are just beginning to brown.
  • Meanwhile, mix the remaining ingredients in small bowl or measuring cup.
  • Add the pork back into skillet and pour the honey mixture over the pork, onions and carrots. Cover and cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and turning the medallions, until carrots and onions are crisply tender. This can be cooked for longer if needed to accommodate your side dishes or rolls, etc.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Meat: Pork tenderloin is a lean and flavorful cut of meat that is perfect for smoking. It is important to choose a tenderloin that is at least 1 pound in weight, as smaller tenderloins will cook too quickly and may become dry.
  • Prepare the Pork Tenderloin: Before smoking the pork tenderloin, it is important to trim any excess fat from the meat. You can also score the tenderloin with a sharp knife, which will help the marinade to penetrate the meat more deeply.
  • Use a Good Marinade: A marinade is an essential part of the smoking process, as it helps to add flavor and moisture to the meat. There are many different marinades that you can use, but a simple one made with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper is always a good choice.
  • Smoke the Pork Tenderloin Properly: When smoking the pork tenderloin, it is important to use a smoker that is set to a temperature of 225 degrees Fahrenheit. The tenderloin should be smoked for about 2 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the Pork Tenderloin Rest: After the pork tenderloin has been smoked, it is important to let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Honey-smoked pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips in this article, you can ensure that your pork tenderloin turns out perfectly every time. So fire up your smoker and give this recipe a try!
