Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 1 pound each) Pork tenderloins
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 cup Barbecue sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Pat the pork tenderloins dry with paper towels. Trim any silver skin or excess fat if necessary.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Rub the olive oil evenly over the pork tenderloins, then sprinkle the spice mixture all over the pork, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 5

Place the pork tenderloins on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.

Step 6

While the pork is roasting, prepare the barbecue glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.

Step 7

After 20 minutes, remove the pork tenderloins from the oven. Brush a generous layer of the barbecue glaze over the tenderloins.

Step 8

Return the pork to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes. Brush on more barbecue glaze during the last 5 minutes of baking if desired.

Step 9

Check the internal temperature of the pork with a meat thermometer. It should read 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part for safe consumption. If it hasn’t reached this temperature, return it to the oven for another 5 minutes and recheck.

Step 10

Once done, remove the pork from the oven and tent it with foil. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 11

Slice the pork tenderloins into medallions and serve with additional barbecue sauce on the side, if desired. Enjoy!
