Turn the tenderloins and brush the other side with the remaining basting sauce.

Recipe View 10 mins Rest and Serve: Once the pork reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product. Slice the pork tenderloin thinly and serve immediately with the reserved barbecue sauce on the side. (10 minutes)

For best results, use a high-quality barbecue sauce that you enjoy the flavor of. Sweet, smoky, or tangy sauces all work well.
Don't overcook the pork! The ideal internal temperature is 145°F (63°C). Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure accuracy.
Letting the pork rest is crucial for optimal tenderness and juiciness. Don't skip this step!
Serve with your favorite grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or creamy coleslaw for a complete and satisfying meal.
