My recipe for Easy Glazed Grilled Pork Tenderloin is so easy that you almost could call it a NON-recipe!
Easy Glazed Grilled Pork Tenderloin
Last night for dinner Steve grilled a pair of pork tenderloins on our Jumbo Joe charcoal grill, while I was inside making that amazing Baked Broccoli Cheese Casserole that I shared about a few posts ago. The weird thing is that, though both recipes are extremely easy, mine was that more time consuming dish.
How he did it
While I cut up the broccoli and shredded the cheese and made the cheese sauce, Steve liberally seasoned the two pork tenderloins all over with salt and pepper and then got the charcoal started in the chimney starter. When the grill was hot, he seared the pork on all sides over the direct heat.
Next he moved the pork tenderloins to the fringe area between hot coals and no coals, covered the grill and let the pork cook for about 15 minutes. What makes this entrée so succulent and yummy is the glaze. I’m sure right about now you’re thinking “Here comes the hard part, making the glaze.” Nope. The glaze is simply brushing the pork tenderloins with Bibigo Korean BBQ Sauce (#ad) which is available on amazon.com and at many supermarkets across the country. I’ve tried a couple of others, when I couldn’t find Bibigo brand, but they don’t have nearly the depth of flavor that Bibigo has.
Sometimes keeping it simple is best. What could possibly be easier than a four ingredient main dish – and that’s counting the salt and pepper!!! And if you don’t have a charcoal grill, a gas grill will work just fine, as would searing the pork on the stove and then finishing it the oven.
Sooooo delicious
I told you this was easy. But more importantly, IT’S DELICIOUS!!! The pork comes out juicy, tender and so full of flavor that no additional sauce is needed. Especially if you serve that Baked Broccoli Cheese Casserole along side the Easy Glazed Grilled Pork Tenderloin!

Easy Glazed Grilled Pork Tenderloin
This Easy Glazed Grilled Pork Tenderloin is so easy that there are only 4 ingredients – and that includes the salt and pepper.

- Total Time: 0 hours
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
2 trimmed pork tenderloins, about 1 1/2 pounds each
1 tablespoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 cup Bibigo Korean BBQ Sauce
Instructions
Prepare a charcoal grill for 2 zone cooking. (See notes!)
While the grill is heating, rinse the pork tenderloins and dry well with paper towels. Season liberally with salt and pepper, making sure to cover all of the pork with seasoning.
When the grill is ready, sear the pork tenderloins on all sides directly over the hot coals. Once they’re seared move the pork to the fringe, cover and grill for 10 to 12 minutes. Brush all over with the Bibigo Korean BBQ Sauce to glaze. Grill until the internal temperature reaches 145º F. Glaze once more and remove from the grill to a cutting board.
Allow the pork to rest about 5 minutes before slicing into 1/2-inch medallions. Serve immediately.
Notes
Setting up your charcoal grill for 2 zone cooking: To do this dump your hot coals on one side of the grill and leave a portion without coals. This allows you to move the protein to where you need it, from super hot over the burning coals to much cooler, indirect heat over the area with no coals. In the between the high pile of coals and no coals, where there are fewer coals in a shallow layer – I call the fringe. On a gas grill that would be medium high.
If you want to cook the pork tenderloins indoors I suggest searing the pork on all sides in a hot cast iron pan with olive oil. Once seared, roast in a preheated 425º F oven for about 18 to 20 minutes, or until it reaches 145º F.
