This recipe feeds 6-8 so halve the recipe for a smaller crowd!
Ingredients:
For spice rub:
2 tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 pork tenderloins (2 ¼ - 2 ½ lbs. total) trimmed and evenly tied (Pork tenderloin tends to be "skinnier" at the tail end, so ask the butcher to tie the pork for more even cooking!)
2 tbsp. olive oil
For glaze:
¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tbsp. finely chopped garlic
1 tbsp. Tabasco (I used Frank's.)
Directions:
Stir the spice rub ingredients together in a small bowl and rub all over the pork. Heat oil in ovenproof 12-inch heavy skillet over medium high heat. Brown pork, turning occasionally, about 4-5 minutes total. Remove from heat, but leave pork in skillet.
Stir together brown sugar, garlic, and Tabasco in a small bowl. Pat the mixture on top of the pork. Place skillet in the oven at 350. Roast until thermometer inserted diagonally into the center of each tenderloin registers 140 degrees, about 20 minutes. Let pork stand in skillet, loosely covered with foil for 10 minutes.
