Island Spice Pork Tenderloin

Island Spice Pork Tenderloin

Spice Rub:
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cinnamon

2 pork tenderloins (about 2 to 2 1/2 lbs total)
2 T olive oil

Glaze:
1/2 c brown sugar
1 T minced garlic
1 1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce

Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to 350*.
2.  Combine the spice rub ingredients in a small bowl.  Pat the mixture over the pork tenderloins.
3.  Heat olive oil in an ovenproof 12" skillet over medium-high heat.  Place the tenderloins in the skillet and brown on all sides, turning occasionally, about 4 minutes total.  Remove from heat, leaving the pork in the skillet.
4.  Stir the glaze ingredients together until combined.  Spread the mixture evenly over the tops of the tenderloins.
5.  Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20 minutes, until the center reaches 140*.  Loosely tent the skillet with foil and let stand 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

We both really enjoyed this spicy, slightly hot and sweet tenderloin.  It was really tender and so quick and easy to make.
