Ninja Woodfire Grill Smoked Pork Tenderloin
Description
Juicy, tender Ninja Woodfire Grill smoked pork tenderloin with a simple savory-sweet spice rub. Smoked low and slow for real wood-fired flavor, with an optional grill finish for caramelized edges — perfect for weeknight dinners or feeding a crowd.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin,
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon mustard powder
Instructions
- Set the Ninja Woodfire Grill to the Smoker function, add wood pellets, and preheat to 225°F (107°C).
- Trim the silver skin and excess fat from the pork tenderloin, then pat it completely dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, brown sugar, thyme, and mustard powder.
- Rub the tenderloin all over with olive oil, then coat generously with the spice mixture, pressing it into the meat.
- Place the tenderloin on the grill grate and close the lid. Smoke at 225°F for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- (Optional) For grilled-style edges, switch to the Grill function on high and sear 2–3 minutes, turning once.
- Rest the pork 5–10 minutes, then slice into medallions and serve.
Equipment
- Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill
- Wood pellets (apple or cherry recommended)
- Instant-read meat thermometer
Notes
- Pull the pork at 145°F for juicy, safe results — a thermometer is the key to not overcooking this lean cut.
- Apple and cherry give a mild, sweet smoke; hickory is bolder.
- Store leftovers airtight for 3–4 days, or slice and freeze up to 2 months.
