Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 pork tenderloins
Easy Spice Blend
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds (crushed)

- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon cayenne
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a long baking dish, mix together all of the spices with a fork until evenly blender. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towel then place in the baking dish. Using your hands, coat the pork tenderloin on all sides evenly with the spice mixture.
- Heat a large, oven-proof pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil then place the pork tenderloin in to sear. Using tongs, carefully rotate the pork tenderloin until all sides are browned, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Place the skillet in the oven and roast until the pork tenderloin reaches an internal cooking temperature of 140 degrees, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes
- Note: If you have whole cumin, coriander and fennel I suggest toasting in a dry pan until fragrant then crushing. Otherwise, use pre-ground spices.
