You can’t beat traditional low-and-slow BBQ pulled pork. But what if you don’t have hours to Q? The solution is the Grilled Pork Sliders. Pork tenderloins benefit from a good rub and sauce, and they cook up quickly on the grill. In a pinch, the pork can be grilled or roasted indoors.

1 1/4 TO 1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed
1/4 cup Pork Rub
2 Tablespoons olive oil
12 soft potato slider buns
1 1/2 cups shredded cabbage, or 1 cup slaw
1 cup Chipotle Sauce
One day prior or at least two hours before cooking, dry rub the pork tenderloin.
Rub pork spices over pork tenderloin and refrigerate until ready to cook.
Pork Rub:
2 teaspoons each of powdered garlic, paprika
1 Tablespoon each of black pepper, rosemary, thyme, Chipolte rub
To Cook Pork: Preheat the grill or a cast-iron grill pan to high heat, or preheat a 375-degree oven.
Rub olive oil over the pork tenderloin. Place the tenderloins on high heat and grill to a golden brown, turning once on all sides (Use a roasting pan if cooking in the oven). Lower the heat to medium; cook until the pork is fully cooked, about 15-25 minutes. Remove the meat from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Slice pork tenderloin very thin and pile high on soft buns. Drizzle Chipotle Sauce over the meat, and top with finely shredded cabbage or slaw.
