Brown Sugar Spiced Pork Loin

Recipe Added:  11/28/2011
Spice Rub:
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cinnamon
2 pork tenderloins, cut into 2 chunks
2 Tbsp olive oil
Brown Sugar Glaze:
1 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp finely chopped garlic
1 Tbsp tabasco sauce
Preheat oven to 350F. In a small bowl, stir together salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and cinnamon, then coat the pork with the spice rub. Heat the oil in an ovenproof 12-inch heavy skillet over medium high heat until the oil is hot and rippling. Brown the pork, turning, about 4 minutes total. Leave pork in the skillet. If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, brown the pork in a skillet and transfer it to a foil-lined 9x13 baking pan.

Stir together the brown sugar, garlic, and Tabasco and pat on top of each tenderloin. Roast in the middle of the oven until a thermometer inserted diagonally in center of each tenderloin registers 140, about 25 minutes. Let pork stand in the skillet softened for 10 minutes. Slice on the diagonal and serve, spooning the sauce from the skillet on top of the pork.
