Spice-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 1- to 1 1/2-pound pork tenderloins
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine first 7 ingredients (through cayenne). Remove silver skin from pork and pat dry. Coat tenderloins with spice mixture. Heat oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Place pork in oven and roast, uncovered, until internal temperature registers 145 degrees F, about 18-22 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with pan juices drizzled on top. Makes 6 servings.
