INGREDIENTS
1/2 Cup apple juice
3 Tablespoon honey, warmed
3 Tablespoon Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub
1/4 Cup brown sugar
2 Tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 Tablespoon Black pepper
2 (1-1/2 lb) pork tenderloins, silverskin removed
STEPS
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the apple juice, honey, Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub, brown sugar, thyme, and black pepper.
2. Add the pork loins to the bowl with the marinade. Turn the pork to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator and marinate for 2-3 hours.
3. When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 225℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke, if available.
4. Insert the probe into center of a tenderloin. Place the tenderloins directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and smoke until the internal temperature reaches 145℉, 2 1/2-3 hours.
5. Remove the tenderloins from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Enjoy!
