Sweet and Spicy Pork Tenderloin

Ingredients

  • 1 – 1 ½ pounds pork tenderloin

  • 2 tablespoons oil

Rub Ingredients

  • 2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper powder

  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 2 tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp pepper

  • ½ tsp salt

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 2 cloves minced garlic

  • 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce OR hot sauce of choice (use more if you like it spicy!)

  • 2-4 tablespoons water

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drizzle an Xtrema skillet with the oil and preheat on the stove over medium-high heat until the oil is hot.

  2. Mix together all rub ingredients. Sprinkle the rub mixture all over the tenderloin and use your fingers to massage it into the meat.

  3. Place tenderloin in skillet and allow to brown for 3-4 minutes, turning the meat throughout to sear on all sides.

  4. Mix the glaze ingredients together and pour mixture over the tenderloin. Transfer to preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes until cooked through. 

  5. Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting the tenderloin into 1-inch thick slices. Use a spoon to drizzle the glaze from the pan all over the tenderloin just before serving!
