Servings: 8
Prep Time: 15 Min.
Cook Time: 20 Min.
Marinate: 2 Hrs.
* 2 pork tenderloins (about 2 lbs. total), trimmed
Spice Rub:
* 1 Tbsp. chili powder
* 1 Tbsp. garlic powder
* 1/2 Tbsp. sugar
* 1 tsp. salt
* 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
Glaze:
* 1-1/2 c. apricot preserves
* 1/2 c. barbeque sauce
* 1 tsp. fresh ginger root, grated
* 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
* 1/2 tsp. hot sauce
* 1 Tbsp. cilantro, chopped
* juice of 1 lime
1. Place chili powder, garlic powder, sugar, salt and pepper in a jar; shake to blend. Rub spice mixture onto pork tenderloins. Cover tenderloins and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hrs.
2. Prior to grilling, melt apricot preserves in saucepan over medium heat. Remove pan from the heat and stir in remaining glaze ingredients. Place half of the glaze in a serving bowl and hold for service.
3. Prepare grill at medium-high heat. Grill pork tenderloins for 20-27 min., or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F on an instant-read thermometer. When approximately 4 min. of cook time remains, brush the pork tenderloins with the apricot glaze remaining in the pan. Cook for 2 min., turn the pork tenderloins and brush glaze on other side. Cook for an additional 2 min. Remove pork from the grill and let set for about 5 min. before slicing. Serve with reserved glaze.
