Get this Cocoa-Encrusted Pork Tenderloin recipe here: http://traegergrills.com/teamtraeger, along with more grilling and smoking ideas than you can shake a stick at. No you aren’t dreaming, it’s chocolate covered pig on the menu tonight. We have been saving this recipe for a special occasion—it’s fit for a king. Traeger Cocoa Encrusted Pork Tenderloin is your new wood-fired weakness, marinated in the bold taste of coco, and seared to juicy perfection. They say, “go big or go home”, but we are going big, and staying home with a heaping helping of Cocoa-Encrusted Pork on the Traeger Grill tonight.

It’s all about the pork, and pork tenderloin is by far the MVP (that’s most valuable porker) of the barbecue game. Juicy, moist, and always impressive, this grade A cut of meat runs from hip to shoulder and is the most tender cut on the animal. It doesn’t get any easier when it comes to cooking. All it takes is a little rub and soak for the most intensely infused chunk of chow that will grill to hog heaven. Just remember, the tenderloin is usually very lean. You want to use a thermometer to be sure to hit the perfect internal temp (140-150 degrees) without overcooking. Pork Tenderloin can go from juicy and tender, to tough and dry in seconds if you overcook. Don’t worry if it’s a little pink when you cut into it. It’s absolutely normal, safe, and delicious as long as you have hit the correct internal temperature. Tenderloin is a good-looking hunk of meat for yourself, but tasty enough for company. Best of all, this Traeger Cocoa Encrusted Pork won’t break the piggy bank.

There is no better way to cook your pork tonight than on your Traeger Smoker. It’s the Original Wood Fired Grill, and is hands down the best piece of outdoor cooking equipment you will every use—it’s the grillest. Ask anyone that has one; our customers are the most loyal grillers, smokers, bakers and pit bosses around.

It’s the easiest, most delicious way to cook food. Visit ‪http://www.traegergrills.com/shop‬‬ to see the stunning Elite and Pro Series Traegers.
