Fat Man's Smoked Pork Tenderloin with Honey Glaze

Lean, clean, and surprisingly tender when you do it right, this pork tenderloin gets smoked low and slow, kissed with honey-mustard glaze, and sliced like you’ve got a waiting crowd. Bonus: it looks way more complicated than it is.

Servings: 4–6
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 1.5–2 hours

Ingredients

  • 2 pork tenderloins (about 1.5 lbs each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons Porker Rub
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
  • ½ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your smoker to 225°F with applewood or hickory.
  2. Pat tenderloins dry, rub with olive oil, then coat in Porker Rub and brown sugar.
  3. Smoke 90–120 minutes until internal temp hits 140–145°F.
  4. In a saucepan, simmer honey, mustard, vinegar, paprika, and butter until thickened.
  5. Brush glaze onto pork in the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  6. Rest 10 minutes before slicing.

✅ Fat Man Tip

Hit it with a quick cast iron sear after smoking for a golden crust you can hear crack when you slice it.
