Island Pork Tenderloin

This recipe is actually from the P90X nutrition plan. It's delicious and healthy!!!

Island Pork Tenderloin

16 oz pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat (lean)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. chile powder
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. olive oil
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 TBS garlic, finely chopped
1/2 tsp. tabasco sauce

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Stir together salt, pepper, cumin, chile powder, and cinnamon, then coat pork with the spice rub.
3. Heat 1 tbs oil in a 12 inch skillet over moderately high heat and brown pork, turning, about 4 minutes.
4. Stir together brown sugar, garlic and tabasco and pat onto top of tenderloin. Place pork in a roasting pan and cook in the oven for 20 minutes.

I didn't use the tabasco because we have kids, but this is a really tasty recipe! We serve it with rice that has teriyaki sauce on it. Hope you like it!
