Island Pork Tenderloin is a P90X receipe that is sweet and spicy. It's an excellent choice if you need something sweet.
Ingredients:
- 16 oz Pork tenderloin,
.5 tsp salt
.25 tsp pepper,
.5 tsp chile powder
.5 tsp ground cumin
.5 tsp cinnamon
.25 c brown sugar
.5 tbs fresh garlic, finely chopped
.5 tbs Tabasco sauce
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350
- stir together salt, pepper, chile powder, and cinnamon, then coat pork with spice rub.
- heat oil in a skillet over moderately high heat and brown pork, turning, about 4 minutes.
- 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 or internal temp of 170.
Number of Servings: 4
Tips:
Keep an eye on it. I made two pans worth (about 3lbs) and the melted brown sugar burned in the pan (not on the meat). There was a smokey haze in my kitchen. If it doesn't burn, you can use the melted brown sugar mix from the pan to spread on top of the tenderloin's after baking.

Update on Spice Rub
I find that doubling the ingredients for the spice rub, or maybe 1.5x, makes the right amount to cover all of the meat.
