Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Fire up your smoker at 225ºF
  2. Get your pork tenderloin out of the package. Trim off excess fat if needed.
  3. Season all sides of the tenderloin with your favorite pork seasoning. Then toss on the smoker!
  4. As the pork cooks, prepare the bacon-wrapped asparagus.
  5. Cut off about one inch of the blunt side of the asparagus spears. Trash those ends.
  6. Next we’ll grab one slice of thick cut bacon and tightly wrap it around 5-6 asparagus spears. The slice of bacon should wrap 3-4 times around the bundle of asparagus.
  7. Once all asparagus is wrapped, drizzle the asparagus, not the bacon, with olive oil.
  8. Season the asparagus with your favorite veggie rub and season the bacon with your favorite pork rub. (Optional)
  9. Place these in the fridge until you’re ready to use them.
  10. When your pork tenderloin reaches 130°F internal temperature, get your smoker temp up to 350°F.
  11. Toss those bundles of bacon wrapped asparagus on the smoker. Let them cook alongside the pork tenderloin.
  12. When the pork tenderloin reaches 145°F internal temp, baste the outside of the meat with your favorite BBQ sauce.
  13. Pork tenderloin will be done at 155°F internal temp. Remove from the grill, plate it, and lightly tent with foil so it can rest while the asparagus finishes.
  14. You can either cook the bacon wrapped asparagus to your desired readiness, or probe the bacon to 160°F just to make sure it’s done. Or cook to a higher temp for more crispy bacon.
  15. Now that both meats are ready, so are you. Enjoy!
