Chile and Spice-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin With Honey-Lime Glaze

This is a Deen Brothers' recipe and it is absolutely delicious. Although the recipe calls for four tenderloins (2 double packs), the meat disappears fast especially if you have a hungry family or crowd. This is a great entertaining dish for company. Show more

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine coriander through red pepper and mix well. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to six weeks.
