Description

Pork tenderloin on the Big Green Egg is hands down the best way to cook this quality cut. This recipe uses both smoking and grilling!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 pork tenderloins (about 3 pounds)
  • 2 Apple wood chunks for smoking
  • 1/4 your favorite BBQ rub or all-purpose seasoning (salt, pepper, granulated garlic)

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 sprigs fresh rosemary, removed from stem
  • 2 Tablespoons coarse ground dijon mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated garlic

Glaze

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Remove silver skin from pork tenderloin and place tenderloin into a zip top freezer bag.
  2. Whisk together all marinade ingredients in a liquid measuring cup and pork into the freezer bag with meat.
  3. Massage meat to ensure the marinade evenly coats the tenderloin.
  4. Refrigerate 4-12 hours.
  5. Prepare grill for indirect cooking at 250 degrees with the apple wood chunks for smoke flavor.
  6. Remove pork from marinade and pat excess marinade. Do not rinse the marinade off and season with your favorite BBQ or all purpose rub (salt, pepper, granulated garlic).
  7. Put pork tenderloin on the grill and smoke for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until the internal temperature hits 130 degrees. Begin checking every few minutes after 30 minutes so you don’t over shoot the 130 degrees.
  8. Remove pork tenderloin from grill and tent with foil.
  9. Prepare grill for direct searing at 500 degrees by removing the plate setter from the Big Green Egg. If you’re on a kettle grill, open the vents and allow the coals to reach maximum temperature for searing.
  10. While the grill comes to temperature, prepare glaze by combining the maple syrup and balsamic vinegar in a liquid measuring cup.
  11. Return the pork tenderloin to the Big Green Egg and baste with the glaze.
  12. Turn the pork every minute for 4-5 minutes, basting with every turn.
  13. When the pork reaches 145 degrees internal temperature, remove from grill and serve.
