How to Make Barbecue Pork Tenderloin

  1. Prepare the grill for medium-high heat (approximately 375-400°F).
  2. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a nice sear.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Generously rub the mixture all over the pork tenderloin.
  5. Place the pork tenderloin on the preheated grill grates.
  6. Grill for approximately 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  7. Remove the pork tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  8. Slice the tenderloin against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy!
