ingredients
- 2 pork tenderloin

GLAZE
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons finey chopped garlic
- 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or adjust to suit heat level)
directions
- In a small bowl stir together the salt, black pepper, cumin, chili powder and cinnamon.
- Using clean hands rub the spice mixture over the pork to coat well.
- Heat a large heavy oven-proof skillet with oil over medium-high heat until very hot.
- Add in tenderloins (if you have a large enough skillet to brown both at the same time).
- Brown the pork on all sides then leave in the skillet.
- Set oven to 350 degrees F.
- To make the glaze: Stir together brown sugar, garlic and Tabasco; pat onto the top of each tenderloin.
- Roast in the middle of the oven for about 20-22 minutes, or until a thermometer registers 140°F.
- Let sit in the skillet for 10 minutes at room temperature (the temperature of the pork will rise to about 155F while standing for the 10 minutes).
- Remove to a board and slice.
- Delicious!

Very good! I was looking for something a little different, and this definitely fit the bill! My husband RAVED about it, my brother-in-law asks for it almost everytime he comes to dinner, and I have since made it 4 other times, each with rave reviews and NO leftovers! Quite a compliment! I didn't know if my skillet could survive in the oven, so I preheated a 9x13 pan in the oven while I was browning the tenderloins and then transfered the pork and sauce to that dish for baking. Turned out great!

This was great! I used a 2.5lb boneless pork loin roast instead of pork tenderloins. Using my trusty cast iron skillet, I seared it on all sides like you instructed. After patting on the glaze, I put it in a 350F oven for 45 minutes until the thermometer read 140F. I let it rest for 10 minutes, and it was delicious! I love how the brown sugar glaze almost makes a crust on the outside of the pork. It smelled so good while roasting, too! It wasn't overly sweet, either. I thought it would be too sweet with the brown sugar, but the garlic, hot sauce, and spices balanced out the sweetness. Thanks for another winner of a recipe!
