As always, thanks for reading!

Step 1: Brine

Brining is a very simple process to increase the juiciness of meat.

There is a plethora of information on the internets if you'd like to know exactly how it works.

1/4 cup white sugar

1/4 cup salt

6 cups water (enough to completely cover the meat while it sits in your container)

Add all of the ingredients into a seal able container and allow to brine for 45 minutes.

When the timer is up, remove from container and pat dry.

Step 2: Rub

1 TBSP. very finely ground coffee beans

(I ground mine in a coffee grinder until it was powdery)

2 tsp. packed light brown sugar

2 tsp. chili powder

1/2 tsp. onion powder

2 TBSP extra-virgin olive oi

1 pork tenderloin, trimmed (app. 2 lbs)

Combine the rub ingredients and apply liberally. Go ahead and and wrap the meat in foil, as the oil will separate from the rub while it rests.

Step 3: Grill It

Heat up the grill.

(I used pecan wood for my fire, but this is not necessary for this recipe. I just have a large amount of it on hand).

I placed the meat on the grill once the flames had died down. It was about 400 degrees Fahrenheit when I started. Turn frequently on all sides to form crust. Cook until thickest part is at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Mine went a little longer than that, but still turned out juicy.

Remove from heat.
