Give your pork a sweet and smoky kick. These tenderloins are marinated in a sweet honey and thyme mixture and smoked to perfection over aromatic apple wood pellets.
Ingredients
2 ea (1-1/2 LB) PORK TENDERLOINS, SILVERSKIN REMOVED
1/2 cup Apple Juice
3 Tbsp Honey, Warmed
3 Tbsp Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub
1/4 cup BROWN SUGAR
2 tbsp thyme leaves
1/2 Tbsp BLACK PEPPER
Preparation
For the Marinade: In a large bowl, add the apple juice, honey, Traeger Pork & Poultry rub, brown sugar, thyme leaves and black pepper. Whisk to combine.
Add pork loins to the bowl with the marinade. Turn pork to coat in marinade and cover bowl with plastic wrap. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
When ready to cook, set the temperature to 225℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.
Place the pork loin directly on the grill grate and smoke until the internal temperature registers an internal temperature of 145℉, about 2-1/2 to 3 hours.
Let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
