Ingredients

2 Garlic Cloves, Minced

1/4 cup Hoisin Sauce

1/4 cup Pit Boss Kansas City Maple & Molasses BBQ Sauce

2 lbs Pork Tenderloin, Trimmed with Silver Skins Removed

1 tbsp Sugar, Granulated

1 tsp Sweet Rib Rub Seasoning

1/4 Cup Tamari

1/4 cup White Wine

Special Tools

Basting Brush

Glass Measuring Cup

Grill-safe Pan

Whisk

Resealable plastic bag

Directions

In a glass measuring cup, whisk together the hoisin sauce, tamari, wine, garlic, sugar, and Pit Boss Sweet Rib Rub.

Place pork tenderloin in a resealable bag, then pour the marinade over the pork and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours.

Fire up your Pit Boss pellet grill on SMOKE mode and let it run with lid open for 10 minutes then preheat to 400°F. If using a gas or charcoal grill, preheat to medium-high heat.

Remove the pork from the marinade, then pour the marinade into a grill-safe pan.

Place the marinade on the grill and bring to a boil for 3 minutes. Add the BBQ sauce and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from the grill, and set aside.

Place the pork on the grill and cook for 18 to 20 minutes, until an internal temperature of 145°F. Flip and baste the pork with the sauce every 3 to 5 minutes.
