A delightful pork tenderloin recipe with a tangy citrus glaze, perfect for any occasion.
Prepare the glaze by mixing the barbecue sauce, juice of the orange, ground chipotle pepper, cracked black pepper, and kosher salt in a bowl.
Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor.
Rub the pork tenderloin with olive oil, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper.
Let the pork sit for a few minutes after seasoning to absorb the flavors.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill is clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the pork tenderloin, basting with the citrus glaze every 5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (about 20 minutes).
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfect doneness.
Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender.
Slice the pork tenderloin and serve with any remaining citrus glaze on the side.
Garnish with fresh orange slices for an elegant presentation.
