Island Pork Tenderloin

This pork is really good.

The salad is ok.

I think that I'll use the pork for tacos, over rice, or something other than salad.

If you want to make the salad, it's just spinach, raisins, red pepper, and your favorite salad dressing.

The pork recipe comes from the BeachBody cookbook for P90X.

Island Pork Tenderloin

16 oz pork tenderloin

1/2 t. salt

1/4 t. pepper

1/2 t. chile powder

1/2 t. cumin

1/2 t. cinnamon

1 T. olive oil

1/4 cup brown sugar

3-4 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 T. Tabasco sauce

Stir together salt, pepper, cumin, chile powder, and cinnamon, then rub into the pork.  (Don't be afraid to use your hands here).

Heat the oil in a skillet over moderately high heat and brown pork for about 4 minutes on each side.

Stir together brown sugar, garlic, and Tabasco sauce and pat onto top of the tenderloin.  

Place in crockpot and cook until tender.  Or cook in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.

(If using the crockpot, pour in a little water about 1/4 of the way up the pork.  Pour the water down the side of the crockpot so the rub and sauce don't run off the meat.)
