Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill Smoked Pork Tenderloin with Mezcal BBQ Sauce

Step 1

Preheat the Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill to 250°F on the Smoke setting, and load the hopper with applewood pellets.

Step 2

Prepare the pork tenderloins by patting them dry with paper towels and removing any silver skin.

Step 3

Combine the dark brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and chipotle pepper in a small bowl.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture all over the pork tenderloins, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Place the pork tenderloins on the grill and smoke with the lid closed for about 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

Step 6

While the pork is smoking, prepare the Mezcal BBQ sauce. Combine the ketchup, lager or ale, orange juice or pineapple juice, mezcal, cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, chipotle powder, and black pepper in a saucepan.

Step 7

Simmer the sauce over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and reduces to about 1 cup of sauce.

Step 8

Remove the pork tenderloins from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Slice the pork tenderloins and serve with the Mezcal BBQ sauce on the side or drizzled over the top.
