Preparation

1. Preheat your grill to medium heat (170-200 degrees Celsius).
2. Place a small saucepan on medium heat and stir together the barbecue sauce ingredients. Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes and then allow to cool.
   HOT TIP – Side burners can be pretty powerful so be sure to use a heavy bottomed pan when you are using the burner.
3. Mix together the dry rub ingredients.
4. Trim the silver skin from your tenderloins, fold the thin end under the tenderloin and then tie it in place with butcher’s string. Using a very sharp boning or fillet knife to trim tenderloin Using a very sharp boning or fillet knife, work the tip under the silverskin slicing away from you towards the opposite end
   HOT TIP – Don’t worry about any visible fat, but you need to remove the silver skin. It won’t render and will get tough and chewy. One end of pork tenderloins is much thinner than the other. That will overcook unless you tuck it under the roast and tie it back to make it thicker.
5. Season the tenderloins with the rub.
6. Spritz the tenderloins with the butter substitute spray and place on the grill. Cook until they reach an internal temperature of 140 degrees, turning every 3-4 minutes to form a nice crust.What your pork tenderloin should look like after cooking
