Preparation

Step 1

Allow meat to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Heat coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and shallot and saute about 2 minutes. Mix in tomato sauce, adobo sauce, brown sugar, cider vinegar, cumin, salt, coffee, and orange juice. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat and cook 10 minutes. Add chocolate and stir until melted, set aside.

Meanwhile, preheat a grill pan for 10 minutes on high. Once hot, reduce heat to medium. Place tenderloin on grill and cook turning every 5 minutes, for 20 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and let cool.

Slice tenderloin into 1/2 inch thick even rounds and distribute evenly, among four plates. Top each with BBQ sauce.
