Quick Barbecue Pork Sliders

I love shredded pork sandwiches...they are great with lots of barbecue sauce. It takes a long time to slow roast apork butt until it's fork tender, so I came up with this alternative quick Barbecue Pork Slider recipe using porktenderloins, which takes 15 minutes to cook on the Grill. It requires some advance planning, but the results areworth it. I've used frozen bread dough to make the buns, so they are fresh, but easy. The home-made barbecuesauce recipe comes from my friend Kay, who tells me it's origin is from the LA Times and is super easy to make.The dry rub can be purchased or made ahead

Ingredients

  • 24 frozen Parkerhouse Rolls we used Bridgford
  • 2 1/2 pounds pork tenderloins
  • 3 Tbs dry rub

Barbecue Sauce

  • 1 cup catsup
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbs packed light brown sugar
  • 4 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tbs molasses
  • 1/2 tbs canned chipotle pepper pureed
  • 4 Tbs chili powder

Instructions

  • The night before or several hours before, apply rub to pork tenderloin massaging it into the meat.  Cover and refrigerate until 1/2 hour before cooking.
  • At least 4 hours before serving, remove bread dough from freezer and place in an oiled 9 x 13 cake pan.  Line up the rolls 4 x 6. Spray or brush with olive oil.  Cover with plastic wrap, while they thaw and rise.  Rolls should double in size.  Bake at least 20 minutes before serving or sooner.  (This process may take longer if it's winter or your room is cold.. Refer to package directions for further explanation.)
  • Make Barbecue sauce.  In large saucepan, combine catsup, cider vinegar, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, molasses chipotle and chili powder with 1/2 cup water.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.  Set aside until meat is cooked.
  • Place rolls in 375 degree oven for 10-15 minutes or until top is browned.
  • Heat barbecue on high.  Place pork tenderloin on barbecue and turn heat to medium.   Cook approximately 3 minutes on one side to sear and turn over for another 3 minutes.  Repeat process giving each side another 4 minutes approximately.  Meat is done when it has some sponginess when pressed, but feels fairly firm. Internal temperature should be about 150°. Set meat aside on a serving plate for ten minutes before slicing.
  • Assemble pork sliders by slicing rolls, placing a slice or two of meat on the roll and top with the Barbecue sauce.
