Ingredients

For the pork tenderloin and dry rub

  • 2 whole pork tenderloins about 2 pounds total
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ tablespoon brown sugar
  • ½ tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon mustard powder

For the pomegranate cranberry chutney

  • 6 ounces cranberries fresh or frozen
  • 4 ounces pomegranate juice
  • 1 whole jalapeno seeded, ribs removed and diced (about ¼ cup)
  • 1 whole shallot diced (about ¼ cup)
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon a neutral oil canola, vegetable, avocado, etc
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the pomegranate cranberry chutney

  • In a small pan over medium low heat, add the oil along with the jalapeno and shallot and a small pinch of salt. Sweat until softened, about 3 - 4 minutes.
  • After, add the pomegranate juice, cranberries, honey and apple cider vinegar and bring to a boil then reduce to simmer, stirring frequently.
  • Simmer for about 20 minutes or until most of the cranberries have popped and the chutney has thickened.
  • Set aside to cool while cooking the pork tenderloin.

For the pork tenderloin

  • Trim any excess fat and silver skin from the pork tenderloins if not already done.
  • Excluding the salt, combine the remaining dry rub ingredients. Mix to combine. Optionally, use your favorite sweet BBQ rub instead
  • Lightly oil the pork tenderloins then apply the salt followed by the dry rub. Let it sit out at room temperature while you preheat the grill.
  • Set up your grill for two zone cooking. The direct heat side should be around 450 - 500 degrees. Make sure to clean the grates as well as possible.
  • Once the grill has preheated, place the pork tenderloins over direct heat and cook for about 30 seconds, uncovered. Then roll the tenderloin onto a different side and cook for another 30 seconds. Keep rolling onto a different side and cook until the exterior is seared very well on all sides. This step should take about 5 - 10 minutes.
  • After searing the pork, move to the indirect side continue cooking, with the lid closed, until you have reached 140° Fahrenheit or your desired internal temperature. Then remove from grill and rest for 5 - 10 minutes before slicing and serving with the chutney.
