Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Ginger Barbecue Sauce
Total time: 35 minutes
Try not to overcook pork; slightly pink on the inside is now acceptable and keeps the meat moist and succulent. Put some of the barbecue sauce in a separate bowl to be used for basting and discard or cook any leftover basting sauce.
Ingredients:
- 1 pork tenderloin, about 12oz (360gr)
- 1 tbs paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup Ginger Barbecue Sauce
Instructions:
- Mix paprika and garlic powder. Rub over pork.
- Put pork on barbecue or in 400F (200C) oven for 25 - 30 minutes. Turn occasionally to brown on all sides.
- Baste pork with barbecue sauce after 15 minutes. Baste 2 - 3 times. When you think pork is done slice into middle to check. It should be done to an internal temp of 145F (62C).
- Remove, slice about 1/2" (1.5cm) thick and serve, drizzling with any remaining barbecue sauce.
Ginger Barbecue Sauce Time: 10 minutes
Similar to our regular barbecue sauce but a bit spicier with the ginger and mustard. This will keep a week in the fridge.... But it never lasts that long. Adding the full 2 tsp of mustard and ginger will make it a bit spicy/hot
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (8oz (240ml) tomato sauce
- 2 tbs molasses
- 2 tbs cider vinegar or other vinegar
- 1 - 2 tsp dry mustard try 1 tsp, taste after heating, add more if you like
- 1 - 2 tsp ground ginger try 1 tsp, taste after heating, add more if you like
- 1 tbs soy sauce
Instructions:
- Heat all ingredients in a small saucepan, whisking to combine.
- Bring to a simmer just long enough to combine all ingredients.
Note: Remove 2 - 3 tbs barbecue sauce to use for basting rather than dipping the basting brush or spoon into that entire sauce.
