Easy Grilled BBQ Pork Tenderloin Recipe

This pork tenderloin is marinated in a homemade BBQ sauce and grilled to perfection, resulting in a tender and smoky flavor. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Pork: Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
- Grill the Pork: Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the pork tenderloin on the grill. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Rest and Serve: Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve with additional barbecue sauce on the side.
