Ingredients

  • 1/2 tbsp cumin
  • 1 pork tenderloin (about 18 oz)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the spices then season the tenderloin all over.
  2. Preheat the grill to high, or preheat the broiler to high.
  3. Grill or broil the tenderloin, covered on high 5 minutes on each side, then move to indirect heat if grilling, cover the grill and cook an additional 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway, until an instant read thermometer inserted in the center reads 145°F* (about 22 to 25 minutes total). For a thicker tenderloin, add more time.
  4. Let the pork rest about 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • *Some people suggest taking pork off around 140°F. I prefer 145F so it's a little pink in the center. The USDA health recommendations say that pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. You can adjust this temperature to your own tastes and comfort level, especially if you know the pork is fresh.
