Fire up your grill and start barbecue season off with this delicious recipe for Grilled Pork Loin Filet with Raspberry Barbecue Sauce!
My fiance and I were both so excited to break out the grill for the first time this season! We make our fair share of hot dogs, burgers, and steaks, but this year we decided to start off barbecue season with something new to us – pork! I decided to buy a Smithfield® Roasted Garlic & Herb Marinated Fresh Pork Loin Filet from Food Lion. I really love that the marinating has already been done and there are no artificial ingredients!
I love to use fresh fruits and vegetables as much as I can all year round, but especially in the summer. For this recipe I took a basic homemade barbecue sauce and added in fresh, pureed raspberries. The berries give the sauce an added sweetness that tastes so good with the garlic and herb from the pork. Savory and sweet all in one delicious meal!
I do most of the cooking and all of the baking around here, but my fiance does the grilling. He appreciates the fact that he doesn’t have to cook much these days, but the moment I mention barbecue, he’s all for it! We use the grill as often as we can in the summer!
It does take some time to grill a pork filet with the barbecue method we use. If you are looking for a quicker grilling method, be sure to check the recipe notes below for more information.
Prep!
The Smithfield Roasted Garlic & Herb Marinated Fresh Pork Loin Filet is all ready to go right out of the package! All you need to do is turn on your grill and get the temperature to around 375°F.
Create!
To make the Raspberry Barbecue Sauce, add all of the ingredients except for the raspberries to a small bowl. Puree the raspberries in a blender. Strain the raspberries through a fine mesh strainer over the bowl so as to not get many seeds in the sauce. Blend well. Refrigerate until needed.
Place the pork away from the flames so that it will cook slowly in indirect heat.. Grill for 45-55 minutes per pound, turning occasionally.
During the last 30 minutes of grilling, brush the Raspberry Barbecue Sauce over the pork. Cook for 5 minutes, then turn and baste the other side and allow that side to cook for 5 minutes. Continue this rotation 2 more times.
Remove the pork from the grill, slice, and serve!
Present!
Place the pork on a serving dish and slice. For a little something extra, place fresh raspberries all around it!
We really love this Grilled Pork Loin Filet with Raspberry Barbecue Sauce! It’s a great recipe for summer, and especially when entertaining! We will definitely be making this for Memorial Day!
