Beer Bacon Maple Pork Tenderloin Medallions

Beer Bacon Maple Pork Tenderloin Medallions: A Sweet & Spicy Backyard Showstopper.

When it comes to summer grilling or slow-smoking, pork tenderloin medallions are a true crowd-pleaser—but this version kicks things up a notch. Coated in a bold marinade featuring Elijah’s Xtreme Beer Bacon Maple BBQ Sauce and finished with a fiery-sweet dusting of Oso Hot Honey Rub by The Spice Guy from our "Flavor Fireworks" BBQ box, these medallions are tender, juicy, and packed with irresistible layers of flavor.

What makes this recipe stand out is the harmony of ingredients. The Beer Bacon Maple BBQ Sauce brings a deep, smoky richness with notes of beer and maple, perfectly complemented by the bacon undertones. Meanwhile, the Oso Hot Honey Rub adds a balanced punch of heat and honeyed sweetness that caramelizes beautifully during cooking—whether you're grilling hot and fast or smoking low and slow.

The beauty of this dish lies in its flexibility. Fire up the grill for quick weekday meals or use the smoker for a slow weekend cookout that builds deeper flavor. No matter your method, the result is always the same: juicy, flavorful pork medallions with a sticky, glossy glaze and a little kick of heat in every bite. Serve with a drizzle of extra sauce, a sprinkle of fresh parsley, and a cold beer on the side—you’ve just nailed summer BBQ perfection.

Sweet, smoky, and spicy come together in these mouthwatering pork tenderloin medallions, featuring Elijah’s Xtreme Beer Bacon Maple BBQ Sauce and The Spice Guy’s Oso Hot Honey Rub. Whether grilled or smoked, this recipe delivers bold summer flavor with a perfect balance of heat and caramelized glaze.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Beer Bacon Maple BBQ Sauce by Elijah's Xtreme (plus extra for basting)
• 2 Tbsp Oso Hot Honey Rub by The Spice Guy
• 2 Pork Tenderloins (about 1.5 lbs total)
• 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
• Fresh Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

1. Marinate the pork: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Beer Bacon Maple BBQ Sauce and olive oil. Slice pork tenderloins into 1.5-inch medallions. Toss medallions in the marinade to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

2. Preheat your cooker:
   
   Grill: Medium-high heat (around 400°F)

   Smoker: 250°F

3. Season the pork: Remove pork from the marinade and pat dry slightly. Sprinkle both sides generously with Oso Hot Honey Rub by The Spice Guy.

4. If GRILLING the medallions: Grill medallions for 4–5 minutes per side, or until internal temp reaches 145°F. In the last 2 minutes, baste lightly with more Beer Bacon Maple BBQ Sauce for a delicious glaze.

5. If SMOKING the medallions: Smoke medallions for 45–60 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Baste with additional Beer Bacon Maple BBQ Sauce during the final 10 minutes to develop your glaze

6. Rest & serve: Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with extra sauce on the side.
