Barbecued Pork Tenderloin

Submitted by DailyInspiration

"The combination of marinade, dry rub and barbecue sauce provides the pork tenderloins with a flavor that's reminiscent of slow-smoked Kansas City ribs. Prep time does not include marinating time. From Cooking Light, May, 2003."

The only thing I did differently was to marinate this longer (a little over 24 hours) That being said, I was afraid this might be too strong. However the complaint I got from my family was that other than the outer edge, it didn't have much flavor at all.

This was really good! I didn't have molasses so added brown sugar to the marinade. The only change I will make next time is use the rub as a seasoning/sprinkle rather than completely covering the tenderloin. Made for Everyday Holiday.

Wow, was this ever good Nancy. Made exactly as written wouldn't change a thing. Well worth the extra effort. Perfect to serve to family or friends. I marinaded the pork for 8 hours, resulting in very flavorful and tender pork. We really enjoyed all the flavors that were used in the rub, marinade and sauce. The pork tenderloin had nice layers of flavor. Thanks for sharing another winner which I will make again.
