Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the sugar, chili powder, salt mustard powder, and thyme. Rub the mixture on the tenderloins, coating all sides. Shake off any loose spices. Place the meat in a baking dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.

Meanwhile, make the barbecue sauce. In a medium saucepan, mix all sauce ingredients and bring to a simmer. Cook over medium-low, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Set the meat on a hot grill, searing it on all sides (about a minute each side). Then move the meat from the direct flame and close the grill. Cook until the meat thermometer registers 160 deg. Remove the meat from the grill. Cover it with aluminum foil and let it stand for 10 minutes. Slice and serve with the sauce on the side.
