Grilled Pork Tenderloin

Grilled Pork Tenderloin is one of our favorite grilled meats. Inexpensive and easy to cook.

One pork tenderloin is perfect two people with a couple side items.

This particular Saturday night was special as it had been a long time since we were able to grill.  We had been having a bout of rain on weekends.  So, Cajun music, grilling, and LSU on TV makes for a perfect Saturday night.

Recipes from the Cajun Recipes at Cajun Cooking TV are easy and simple cooking.  You’ll notice that we use Cajun Seasonings, Garlic Powder and Onion Powder on all of our grilled meats.

Don’t know how to start a charcoal grill, be sure to check out our video called Grilling Tips.  Mike shows you step by step on how to start a charcoal grill on his favorite Old Smokey grill.

How To Grill Pork Tenderloin

Prepare grill and light charcoal.

Soak 2 handfuls of Mesquite wood chips in a small bowl of water.

Spray grilling rack (hold away from the fire) with cooking spray.

Season pork tenderloin on all sides with dry seasonings.

Once charcoal is ready, carefully pour charcoal all to one side of the grill.

Drain the mesquite chips and sprinkle over the coals.

Place grilling rack back on the grill.

Place the seasoned pork tenderloin on the side of the grilling rack opposite of the charcoal.

Cover, open top vent and let grill for 15 minutes, then turn the meat.

For 45 minutes let meat slow cook while turning the tenderloin every 15 minutes.

Remove cover and check for doneness with a meat thermometer.

Pork tenderloin should reach at least 160 degrees F.

With tongs, remove tenderloin to a platter.

Let rest for 10 minutes or so to hold in the juices and makes easier to slice.

Goes great with anything, our favorites include potatoes au gratin and homemade macaroni and cheese.
