- Store remaining marinade in an airtight container in the fridge too.

Notes
Ingredient Notes
- Pork Tenderloin: Pork tenderloin is a lean boneless cut that comes from the back of the pig. Avoid pork loin which is best cooked low and slow in the crockpot.
- BBQ Sauce: I like Sweet Baby Rays. Feel free to use your favorite.
Tips and Tricks
- Dry: Pat meat dry before adding you get a beautiful sear.
- Remove the tough membrane covering the tenderloin before cooking as it will not break down when cooking.
- Do not overcook: Overcooking will lead to tough chewy meat. Cook just until you reach an internal temperature of 140 degrees F. The temperature will rise a bit as it rests. It is okay if it still looks a little pink in the center
- Rest: Allow meat to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute and helps you avoid a dry end result.
- Food Safety: Divide your marinade in half. Use half to marinate your raw meat, and half to brush onto the cooked meat. Never reuse marinade which contains bacteria.
- Direct vs. Indirect Heat: Sear over direct heat for a great crust and then move to indirect heat to avoid overcooking.
