Brine, wood smoked, grilled with black cherry glaze, white cheddar mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables.

In a large pot, combine water, kosher salt, brown sugar, black peppercorns, crushed garlic cloves, and fresh thyme. Stir until salt and sugar are dissolved.

Prepare the Brine

Place the pork tenderloin in the brine, ensuring it is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Brine the Pork

In a small saucepan, combine black cherry preserves, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ground cinnamon, and black pepper. Heat over medium heat until the mixture simmers, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.

Make the Black Cherry Glaze

Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Remove the pork from the brine, rinse with cold water, and pat dry. Place the pork in the smoker and smoke for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Smoke the Pork

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the smoked pork tenderloin with the black cherry glaze, then grill for 5-7 minutes per side, basting with more glaze, until caramelized and heated through.

Grill the Pork

In a large pot, cover the quartered russet potatoes with cold water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Cook the Potatoes

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, shredded white cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Mash the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the trimmed asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Prepare the Vegetables

Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.

Roast the Vegetables

Slice the grilled pork tenderloin and serve it alongside the white cheddar mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus. Drizzle any remaining black cherry glaze over the pork for extra flavor.
