Prep Time: 15 min
Grill Time: 6 – 10 min
Serves: ~ 4 people
Ingredients:
- 1 pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp bacon fat
- 2 tbsp olive oil – or you can use all 4 tbsp of either one
- ~ 1/4 tsp black pepper
- ~ 1/4 tsp sea salt
- few dashes cayenne pepper
- seasoning salt – I used Baker’s Ribs BBQ Rub.
Instructions:
- Preheat grill to 400 degrees F.
- Rinse pork tenderloin under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
- Brush with 2 tbsp bacon fat + 2 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with spices.
On the grill, brown pork tenderloin on all sides, which will take a few minutes per side.- Place pork tenderloin on center part of grill where the element is turned off, leaving the side burners on at 375 degrees F and cook for 5 – 6 minutes.
- Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and cook pork tenderloin until it has reached an internal temperature of 160 – 165 degrees F.
Remove from the BBQ grill, oven and transfer to a cutting board covered with a loose tent of aluminum foil for 5 minutes to allow tenderloin to rest in order to retain the juices.- Slice on a bias, against the grain, into medallions and serve with tasty side dishes and or dipping sauces, as desired.
Serve with applesauce, grilled apples or a mixture of grilled fruit.
