Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds pork tenderloin
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar or sweetener
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat smoker to 225 degrees.
- Sprinkle the spices all over the pork tenderloin and rub them into the meat. It's a small cut of meat. You don't have to let the spices rest much.
- Place the tenderloin on the smoker. Smoke until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Cook time will vary and take 1 ½-2 hours.
- Remove the tenderloin from the smoker and allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes prior to slicing.
- Slice the tenderloin against the grain. Look for the lines in the meat and cut against them. This will help to break up the muscle fibers and make the meat more tender.
