BBQ Pork Tenderloin Recipe - pork tenderloin seasoned with a homemade BBQ rub and grilled. Brown sugar, salt, dry mustard, pepper, oregano, thyme, olive oil, and pork tenderloin. All of the ingredients are gluten-free. This pork tasted SO good! It is great on its own or sliced on a bun with BBQ sauce!
Stir together brown sugar, salt, dry mustard, pepper, oregano and thyme. Set aside.
Remove silver skin from pork. Pat dry, rub with olive oil and coat in spice mixture. Let pork stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Grill pork, 8-10 minutes per side, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145ºF. Remove pork from grill and let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Notes:
When cooking pork tenderloin, it is important to remove the silver skin on the side of each pork tenderloin. The silver skin is a silvery-white sheen membrane on the pork tenderloins. It is a thick connective tissue and it doesn’t break down when the pork is cooked. I use a knife and carefully cut it off. If you don’t remove the silver skin, you will have a tough uneatable area on each tenderloin.
Is BBQ Pork Tenderloin gluten-free? Yes, all of the ingredients in the recipe are gluten-free.
You can use the BBQ Rub on any cut of pork - pork chops, pork loin, pork shoulder.
Can Pork be pink? Yes! It is perfectly SAFE to eat pink pork. Pork needs to have a minimum internal temperature of 145ºF. We like to cook it on the higher end of medium-rare and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. It only takes about 15 minutes to reach 145ºF, depending on how big your pork tenderloins are.
To cook the pork inside, pan sear the pork for 2 minutes on all sides. Place the pork on a rimmed baking sheet and bake at 400ºF for 10 to 12 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Pull the pork out of the oven at 145ºF and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
