How To Make Ninja Foodi Grill Pork Tenderloin
Step One: Set your Ninja Grill to the smoker setting and preheat it to 225 degrees F (107°C).
Step Two: Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin. Pat the meat dry with paper towels to help the seasoning adhere better.
Step Three: In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, brown sugar, thyme, and mustard powder. Rub the pork tenderloin with olive oil, then generously coat it with the spice mixture, pressing it into the meat to ensure even coverage.
Step Four: Place the seasoned pork tenderloin on the preheated grill. Close the lid to maintain a consistent temperature and smoke flow.
Step Five: Smoke the pork tenderloin at 225°F (107°C) for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
Step Six: Once the pork reaches the desired internal temperature, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a moist and flavorful result. After resting, slice the pork tenderloin into medallions. Serve immediately, and enjoy the tender, flavorful smoked pork.
Ninja Foodi Grill Pork Tenderloin Recipe Tips
- Use a Meat Thermometer: Check the internal temperature to ensure it reaches 145°F for perfectly cooked pork.
- Let It Rest: Allow the tenderloin to rest 5–10 minutes before slicing to retain juices.
- Even Searing: Preheat the Ninja Foodi Grill and close the lid for consistent searing and char marks.
- Customize Seasoning: Adjust the spice rub to your taste, adding smoked paprika, cayenne, or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
- Quick Cleanup: Line the grill with foil or use the grill grate with the drip tray to make cleaning easier.
Storing and Reheating Instructions
- Storing: Let the pork tenderloin cool completely, then wrap tightly in foil or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
- Freezing: For longer storage, slice and freeze in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 months.
- Reheating: Warm slices in the Ninja Foodi Grill, oven, or microwave until heated through. Cover loosely with foil to prevent drying, and avoid overheating to maintain juiciness.
Ninja Foodi Grill Pork Tenderloin Recipe Faqs
How do I know when the pork is done? Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for safe, juicy pork.
Can I use a different cut of pork? Yes, center-cut pork chops or boneless pork loin work, but adjust cooking time for thickness.
Do I need to marinate the pork? No, the spice rub and olive oil are enough for flavor, though a short marinade can enhance taste.
Can I cook frozen pork in the Ninja Foodi Grill? It’s best to thaw the pork first; cooking from frozen may lead to uneven cooking.
How do I keep the pork tender and juicy? Let the pork rest 5–10 minutes after cooking and avoid overcooking to retain juices.
Can I add a glaze? Yes, brush with honey, maple syrup, or your favorite BBQ sauce during the last 3–5 minutes of cooking.
