What Is Pork Tenderloin?
Pork tenderloin is a lengthy piece of pork meat. It is often compared to pork loin, but there are differences between these two cuts of meat. Pork tenderloin is boneless, long, and thin, making it even easier to prepare than some other pork cuts.
Ingredients Needed
Prepare the Apple Barbecue Pork Tenderloin for your family with the following ingredients:
- Pork Tenderloin. You will need at least five pounds of pork tenderloin when following this recipe.
- Applesauce. Use two cups of your favorite applesauce for this recipe. You can make your own using my applesauce recipe.
- Barbecue Sauce. Add barbecue sauce over your pork with the applesauce for added flavor.
- Dried Minced Onion. Sprinkle a bit of dried minced onion over your meat.
With just four ingredients, you can make the most tender and flavorful pork tenderloin you have ever tried.
What to Serve With the Apple Barbecue Pork Tenderloin
The Apple Barbecue Pork Tenderloin goes great with a side of homemade mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables, such as steamed carrots, roasted broccoli, or even corn on the cob. You can serve it with a side of applesauce, a baked potato, and even baked macaroni and cheese. The side dishes that go great with this meat are endless. Create your favorite sides to serve with your pork tenderloin for a wholesome, tasty meal.
What to Do With Leftovers
Reheat lunch leftovers in the microwave. You can have the Apple Barbecue Pork Tenderloin with your sides for another fulfilling dinner or make sandwiches using the meat. Because the pork tenderloin falls apart with ease, you can shred it down with two forks and put it on a dinner roll, sweet Hawaiian rolls, or ciabatta rolls. You might also make homemade bread (white bread, honey wheat bread, potato bread, and more!)Add a bit of prepared coleslaw on top to complete these sandwiches.
