This recipe is our go-to recipe for when we have guests over. If we can't come up with anything else to cook, we always resort to this meal because we have had a 100% success rate. It is great served with brown rice and asparagus or broccoli. The other bonus is that it is a healthy meal (we got this recipe out of our P90X book when we attempted the workout program about 2 and half years ago--we only made it through a month of the program, but at least we have this great recipe!)
Also, depending on who you are having over, it is a good idea to double the recipe. In the book the recipe says it makes enough for 4 servings, but I know if there is a total of 4 people eating at our house, we will make 2 lbs. of pork tenderloin and we usually don't have any leftovers (yes we are fatties).
Ingredients
16 ounces pork tenderloin, lean
2 teaspoons olive oil
Mix for Dry Rub
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Mix for Wet Rub
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 tablespoon fresh garlic, finely chopped
1/2 table spoon Tabasco sauce
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Stir the Dry Rub ingredients together and then coat the pork with the mixture.
3. Heat oil in a 12 in. skillet over medium high heat and brown the pork, turning, about 4 minutes for each side.
4. Stir together the Wet Rub mixture and pat it on top of the tenderloin. Place pork in roasting pan and cook in the oven for 20 minutes.
Slice, place on plate, devour and enjoy the sweet spiciness of this dish (sorry I don't have any pictures, but trust me, it is delightful).
