Equipment

  • Smoker
  • Meat thermometer
  • Basting brush
  • Resealable bag or shallow dish

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ pounds pork tenderloin about 2 tenderloins (half pack from Costco)
  • ½ cup white balsamic vinegar flavored works great, like peach
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons ground dry mustard or 1 tablespoon regular mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 teaspoons salt or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare marinade: Combine vinegar, honey, mustard, garlic, and salt in a dish or zip-top bag. Reserve about 2 oz of marinade for basting.
  • Marinate: Add pork tenderloins and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat smoker: Set to 225°F and preheat for about 15 minutes.
  • Smoke the pork: Add marinated pork to smoker. Cook for 3 hours, flipping halfway through, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  • Baste: Brush with reserved marinade every hour to keep moist.
  • Rest and slice: Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing thin. Serve warm or chilled.

Notes

  • For a stronger honey mustard flavor, double the honey and mustard.
  • Works beautifully sliced cold for sandwiches.
  • If you don’t have a smoker, bake at 300°F for 1.5–2 hours or grill on indirect heat until cooked through.
