Ingredients

  • 1 pork tenderloin 450–550 g
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Seasoning Blend:

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon chilli powder

Instructions

  • Set up a two-zone BBQ with one side for high heat (direct) and the other for low heat (indirect). Pat the tenderloin dry and rub it all over with olive oil.
  • Combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, chilli powder, salt, pepper, and thyme in a small bowl.

  • Move the tenderloin to the cool zone and close the lid. Cook for 12–18 minutes, flipping halfway through.

  • Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into medallions.
