Sliced Barbecue Pork Tenderloin

I also made BBQ Pork Tenderloin for the Ark/LSU football game. This was very easy and the flavor was good. I had buns out so that people could make sandwiches, but everyone just ate the meat alone. You could do either.

This is a recipe to serve 4, I doubled it.

BBQ Sauce--

3/4 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons light-brown sugar

1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons paprika

1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, (optional)

Whisk together all ingredients.

Pork Tenderloin--

BBQ Sauce (recipe above)

2 pork tenderloins, 12 to 16 ounces each

Coarse salt and ground pepper

Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Divide Quick BBQ Sauce between two bowls. Use one for basting the raw meat; reserve the other for serving with sandwiches.

Place pork on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Brush generously with sauce. Roast, basting occasionally with sauce, until an instant-read thermometer registers 150 degrees, 18 to 25 minutes.

Thinly slice pork; serve on rolls, accompanied reserved sauce.
