1
Start by patting the pork tenderloins dry with paper towel. Season them evenly with the salt and ground black pepper.
2
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and dried cayenne pepper to create your Cajun spice blend.
3
Rub your prepared Cajun spice blend all over the seasoned pork tenderloins, ensuring every inch is covered. Transfer the tenderloins on a plate.
4
Cover the plate with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for more flavor infusion.
5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure to oil the grill grates before cooking to prevent sticking.
6
Place your marinated tenderloins on the hot grill. Cook them for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally for an even char. Keep cooking until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
7
Take the cooked tenderloins off the grill and allow them to rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to settle back into the meat. Slice the tenderloins and serve immediately for the best taste.
