Ingredients

▢ 2 pork tenderloins (one pound each)
▢ 1 cup BBQ sauce (tomato-based or Rufus Teague Sweet Honey)
▢ ¼ cup honey
▢ 1 ½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
▢ 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
▢ ½ teaspoon dry mustard
▢ ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

Add all ingredients except pork to a small pot over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Let it cool.
Place the tenderloins in a ziplock bag and add ½ of the sauce to the bag. Reserve the rest of the sauce for serving. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
Heat the grill to 350º or medium-high heat. Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and place them on the hot grill. Cook, flipping and basting with extra sauce occasionally, until a meat thermometer reads 135-140º in the thickest part and the outside is golden brown.

Barbara's Notes + Tips

You will have enough sauce for two tenderloins.
You can leave the marinade on for longer than 30 minutes but it's not needed.
Let the pork sit for 5 minutes or so before slicing.
