In our neck of the woods there is always a discussion about BBQ. Did you know there are many different kinds of BBQ? In our area is it’s eastern BBQ, which is a vinegar based bbq. Jimmy loves all kind of BBQ, but especially eastern BBQ. He also loves pork, so I thought I would surprise him for dinner one night and make a new recipe.

It is important to pat dry the tenderloin. This helps with the seasoning stick to the pork tenderloin. You need to marinate this for at least 1 hour but the longer the better. A couple years ago, when I was doing research on tenderloins, I read to let the meat get to room temperature. By doing this it really helps the meat from burning on the outside and keeps the tenderloin juicy.

I am all about grill mats on the grill. It makes life so much easier and really helps with easy clean up. It is a must for keeping your grill cleaned.
