Rubbed Pork Tenderloin

June 15, 2011

Rubbed Pork Tenderloin

 Rubbed Pork Tenderloin is a great recipe for a simple family dinner.  If you want to tone it down a bit, just reduce or eliminate the cayenne and chipotle powder.

This barbecue rub is also delicious on chicken.

Ingredients for Rubbed Pork Tenderloin

Mama’s Favorite Barbecue Rub

½ cup coarse salt

½ cup Natural Turbinado Sugar Crystals

1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon granulated garlic

1 tablespoon granulated onion

2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 teaspoons cayenne

1 teaspoon Chipotle Powder

2 tablespoons paprika

1 tablespoon ground cumin

Combine all above ingredients in a canning jar, put on the lid and shake it all together.  Store in jar for up to 6 months.

Rubbed Pork Tenderloin

1 (3 1/2 to 4 1/2-pound) boneless pork loin

Mama’s Barbecue Rub

1-2 cups beef stock

Instructions for Rubbed Pork Tenderloin

In dutch oven:

Heat your dutch oven over medium heat.  Sprinkle desired amount of Mama’s Favorite Barbecue Rub on your pork loin and simply rub it into the meat.  Place the pork loin in dutch oven and brown on all sides.  Add 1 cup of beef stock to the pan, cover and allow to cook for 1-2 hours (adding more beef stock as needed).  Pork is done when its internal temperature reaches 170 degrees F (medium-well).  Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

On the grill:

Set up your charcoal grill for indirect grilling, positioning the hot coals on each side of the grill leaving the center empty.  Place the pork tender loin in the center of the grill above the empty part.

Close lid, cook for approximately 15 minutes on each side.  Pork is done when its internal temperature reaches 170 degrees F (medium-well).  Let pork rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
