Ingredients
Chili-Rubbed Grilled Pork Tenderloin
  • 2 pieces whole pork tenderloin (cleaned with silver skin removed)
  • 2 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoon ground cumin

Kansas City Rib Sauce
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup vinegar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne
Instructions
  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a bowl combine above ingredients with the exception of the BBQ sauce.
  3. Rub pork tenderloins liberally with the rub mixture.
  4. Place tenderloins on grill for 15 minutes turning frequently or until it reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees in the thickest part of the tenderloin. Baste tenderloin liberally with the BBQ sauce in the last minute of the cooking process. Be careful to do so before, or the sauce will caramelize and burn on the grill.
  5. Remove from heat and let rest for five minutes.
  6. Slice tenderloins into ½ inch thick slices.
  7. Serve with extra sauce.
