Pork Tenderloin with a Coffee encrusted dry rub...




A delicious meat which is easy to BBQ is Pork Tenderloin which can be found at your local meat counter for under $10. The secret to a good, flavorful Tenderloin is to marinate the meat for at least 4 hours and if you have time overnight. What I like to do is add just a little marinade and then apply a healthy amount of dry rub in the A.M. and then stash it in the refrigerator until Dinner. The rub consists of one part salt, one part Cajun Spice, one part chili powder, Spanish Oregano, Rosemary and two parts ground coffee beans. Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl. For the Wet Marinade I like to use Worchester Sauce and/or Soy Sauce, a tablespoon of butter and about 3 cloves minced Garlic. After you marinate the meat the rub should stick to the outside which ends up encrusting your Pork Loins with a nice shell. Once thats been done you're ready to go. I usually wrap the Pork in aluminum foil and then remove it for the last couple of minutes so that you get a nice even grill on the outside which isn't burnt.
