Description

This is a kid-friendly go-to recipe for our family when we are outside swimming in the pool and want something that the entire family actually likes! Serve with extra barbecue sauce, if desired.

Ingredients
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ tablespoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin, or more to taste
  • ½ cup barbecue sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's®)
Directions
  1. 1. Mix sugar, garlic powder, salt, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl. Rub mixture over all sides of pork tenderloin. Let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling.
  2. 2. Preheat an outdoor grill for low heat and lightly oil the grate.
  3. 3. Place pork on the grill and cook low and slow, turning every 10 minutes, until all sides have been cooked, about 30 minutes. Brush with barbecue sauce and repeat every 10 minutes, for about 30 minutes more. Pork is ready when slightly pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 1 hour total cooking time.
  4. 4. Remove pork from grill and let sit an additional 5 minutes.
