MAPLE PORK ON A MAPLE PLANK

Makes 6 servings.

Ingredients

• 2 pork tenderloins (about one pound each)
• 1/2 cup (4 ounces) butter, melted
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons maple syrup, divided
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
• Your favorite BBQ rub, as needed
• 1 maple cooking plank, soaked in water for 1 hour
 

Directions

Trim all the fat and silver skin from the tenderloins.  Mix together the butter, ½ cup of the maple syrup, the dry mustard and cayenne.  With a kitchen injector, inject the mixture evenly throughout both tenderloins.  Season the tenderloins liberally with the rub. Put the tenderloins in a zip-top bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.

Prepare the grill for cooking over direct medium-high heat.  Put the tenderloins on the plank so they aren’t touching each other.  Put the plank on the grill and cover the grill.  Cook for about 1 hour, or until the tenderloins reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees. Remove the whole plan to a baking sheet.  Drizzle the pork with the remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup.  Tent it loosely with aluminum foil.  Let the pork rest for 5 minutes.  Slice and serve right on the plank.
