I have tried countless pork tenderloin recipes over the years, but none quite ever hit the mark. So I decide to take the best parts of a few and create my own – and this one truly delivers. With a homemade bbq rub, a quick sear, and a gentle roast, the result is a tender, juicy, flavor-packed pork tenderloin that’s just a perfect for a cozy family dinner as it is for sharing with company.
This dish is perfect for entertaining – you can prep it ahead of time and finish the cooking just before you guests arrive. Once ready, it slices beautifully and is effortless to serve.
By searing the pork first, you create a beautiful golden crust that deepens the flavor and gives the tenderloin a deliciously savory finish.
The bbq rub, with it’s balance of sweet and savory, adds the perfect punch of flavor that makes the tenderloin shine.
