BBQ Apricot Glazed Pork Tenderloin
- 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Pepper
- 1 whole Pork Tenderloin (1.5 - 2 Pound Size)
- 1- 1/2 cup Apricot Preserves
- 1/2 cups BBQ Sauce, Your Favorite
- 1 teaspoon Grated Ginger
- 1/2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Hot Sauce
- 1 whole Lime, Juiced
- In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, garlic powder, sugar, salt and pepper to make the spice rub.
- Set aside.
- Trim the silver skin and excess fat off of the tenderloin, then rub it all over with the spice rub.
- Make sure to get it in any folds and on the ends.
- If you want, this can be done up to 1 day ahead of time, just cover and keep in the fridge.
- Now make the apricot glaze.
- Put the apricot preserves in a small saucepan and melt over medium heat.
- Stir in the rest of the ingredients and boil for 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, placing 3/4 of it into a dish for glazing, and 1/4 into a smaller dish for dipping.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat, and remember to clean and oil the grates.
- Put the tenderloin on the grill and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, turning halfway through, until it reaches 145 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
- Brush the glaze portion of the sauce all over the pork and cook for another couple of minutes on each side so that the glaze gets nice and sticky.
- Glaze one more time before plating, with the reserved portion of the glaze.
- Let it rest, tented with foil, for at least 5 minutes before cutting it up.
