Ingredients

  • 2 (1 lb) pork tenderloins
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ½ tablespoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon ground mustard
  • teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce

Instructions

  • Mix rub ingredients in bowl and rub outside the pork.
  • Preheat smoker to 225°F. Smoke pork until the internal temperature reaches 135°F. Brush with your favorite BBQ sauce and continue to cook until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  • Remove from the grill and slice into ½ inch medallions.

Notes

  • Use apple wood for smoking. Apple and pork go together like peas and carrots.
  • If you don't want to make your own spice rub, just use store-bought.
  • Let the tenderloin rest for 5 minutes before slicing which lets the juices stay inside.
  • Slice the pork against the grain so it remains tender.
