Servings 8
Ingredients
- 3 lb Pork Tenderloin
- 1/2 cup Apple Juice
- 4 tbsp Pork Rub
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 2 sprigs Rosemary (remove stems)
Salt & Pepper as you'd like
Instructions
- This recipe calls for marinading overnight! Make sure you leave yourself enough time to marinade. If you don't have overnight, it needs to marinade for a minimum of 2 hours.
- In a large bowl (large enough to fit your marinade and pork loin), combine apple juice, honey, pork rub, brown sugar, and rosemary.
- Whisk to combine marinade and add pork loin. Rotate pork loin to ensure entire roast is covered with marinade.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap (or pour into large ziploc bag) and place in refrigerator overnight.
- Set smoker temperature to 225 degrees.
- Place smoked pork loin directly onto grill and cook until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep marinade for moping and injecting.
- After roasts have been cooking for about an hour mop with marinade. If you have a meat injector, inject roast with marinade about every 2 inches.
- Once meat has reached an internal temperature of 145 (usually about 2 1/2 to 3 hours) let rest for 10 minutes, slice and enjoy!
