How to Make Ww North Carolina Bbq Pork Tenderloin With Mop Sauce

Preheat grill to medium heat for indirect grilling.
Spray grill rack with nonstick cooking spray.
**Spice Rub:** In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Rub half of the spice mixture all over the pork tenderloin. Let stand for 15 minutes.
**Mop Sauce:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons molasses, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
Rub the remaining spice mixture over the pork tenderloin.
Place the pork tenderloin over the indirect heat section of the grill.
Grill for 15 minutes.
Turn the pork tenderloin and continue grilling until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160°F (approximately 12-15 more minutes).
Remove from the grill, loosely tent with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve sliced pork tenderloin generously drizzled with the mop sauce. Serve with sweet gherkin pickles for pulled pork sandwiches: thinly slice or chop leftover pork, combine with remaining sauce in a small saucepan, and heat over low heat until warmed through.
