Smoked pork tenderloin is a delicious, melt-in-your-mouth dish that is so often overlooked. Covered in the perfect spice blend, and smoked to perfection, this dish is not one to be missed!
Create your spice blend by mixing together all the spices EXCLUDING your kosher salt & fresh ground pepper.
Pat down your pork tenderloins with a paper towel until dry.
Season liberally with kosher salt & fresh ground pepper.
Next add your seasoning, making sure to flip your tenderloin and cover all sides.
Set a large saute pan or cast iron skillet on high heat, letting it get very hot.
Add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan and then add your tenderloin.
Don't move it around, rather, let is sit and sear for 2-3 minutes or until it has a nice brown crust.
Flip and repeat the same process on the other side.
Once browned on all sides, move to a sheet tray lined with foil.
Move to a 350-degree oven or smoker for 10-20 minutes or until the center has reached 145 (it will still be slightly pink in the center which is just fine!).
