- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- Half tsp. garlic powder
INGREDIENT NOTES:
PORK TENDERLOIN:
- This is the main component and most Weight Watchers-friendly part of the pork. Use pork loin or chicken breast as another idea.
NO-SUGAR-ADDED KETCHUP:
- It is the main component of the BBQ sauce. We use it to add tomato taste and reduce added sugars. You may use reduced-sugar ketchup or tomato sauce with sweetener as an alternative.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR:
- It gives tanginess & balance the sweet taste. If it is not available, you may use white vinegar as an alternative.
WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE:
- It includes umami taste and improves the BBQ sauce. Worcestershire Sauce also makes the overall complexity better. You may use low-sodium soy sauce as another idea.
DIJON MUSTARD:
- Dijon mustard maintains the sweetness. It gives depth and improves flavor complexity as well. Use yellow mustard as an alternative.
WATER:
- Water makes a smooth sauce texture & blend all the ingredients together. It prevents the sauce from becoming thick. You may use low-sodium chicken broth as per your choice.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, warm the oven to 400°F & cover the sheet with baking paper.
- Then dry the tenderloin using a paper towel and remove excess fat.
- In a small bowl, mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and onion powder.
- Rub the seasoning mixture on whole of the pork tenderloin, then put it on the baking sheet.
- Roast the pork for 30 minutes or till the temperature reaches 145°F.
- Now we will make the barbecue sauce by mixing ketup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar substitute, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and water in a small saucepan.
- Simmer the mixture on low flame for seven minutes to make a smooth sauce.
- Remove the pork from the oven to cool for five minutes and slice into thin medallions.
- Lastly, drizzle warm BBQ sauce on the pork or serve it on the side as per your choice.
