Brown Sugar Spiced Pork Tenderloin

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and cinnamon. Cut pork tenderloin in half (like you're cutting a loaf of bread into two equal pieces). In an ovenproof skillet (I used a Dutch Oven), heat oil over medium high heat. Rub spices on pork and then sear meat by browning it and turning on each side, about 4 minutes total. Leave pork in this skillet. If you don't have an ovenproof skillet, brown the pork in a skillet and transfer to a foil-lined 9x13 inch pan for the next step.

Stir together brown sugar, garlic and hot sauce. Pat on top of each piece of pork. Roast in the middle of the oven, uncovered, for about 25 minutes. Inside of pork should register 140 degrees with a meat thermometer. Remember, pork may be slightly pink, but it is still done.

Let pork stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. The internal temperature of the pork will rise to about 155 degrees while standing. Slice on the diagonal and serve, spooning sauce from skillet over the top of the pork. Then, be like Libby, and lick your plate!
