Pork Tenderloin

5-7 lb tenderloin
1 cup BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Rays Honey BBQ Sauce)
1 cup of Mesquite Seasoning
½ cup minced garlic
½ cup Orange Juice

The key to this recipe is to marinate, slow cook, and then grill.

First mix the orange juice, BBQ sauce, and garlic together and set aside. Then take the tenderloin and using a knife stab the tenderloin so the marinade can seep into the meat.
Once finished, rub the tenderloin with the mesquite seasoning and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Take out the tenderloin and place into a large basting pan.
Pour the BBQ mixture over the tenderloin, cover with foil, and place in a 200 degree oven for 2 hours. Check every so often and baste to ensure it stays extremely moist. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes. Cut tenderloin into 4 equal pieces and place onto grill over med high heat. Caramelize and sear the sides of the tenderloin, and cook to a medium, medium well finish. Remove from grill and let sit covered for 10-15 minutes. (This will let the juices redistribute through the meat.) Cut and serve!
