During our smoked tenderloin fundraisers, you can place your orders at
SmokinBrothers@knoxvilleascension.org or in person after each service. The cost is $15 per tenderloin, and funds go to Brotherhood ministries. You can pay when you order or when you pick it up.
The pork was smoked to 135°F and is ready to be sliced and eaten. To warm or cook further, follow the guidelines below. Reheating pork tenderloins in the oven allows the remaining fat marbled in the meat to melt and return moisture to the pork. The red ring inside is the smoke ring, not a sign of undercooked pork.
1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Put the pork tenderloin in a pan with just enough hot water or broth to cover the bottom; tightly cover and cook for 20-30 minutes.
3. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the pork and check the desired temperature. Continue to heat to the desired temperature. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
