Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Rub:
In a small bowl, stir together salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and cinnamon. Coat the pork with the spice rub.

Heat the oil in an ovenproof pan over medium high heat until the oil is hot and rippling. Brown the pork, turning until all sides are brown, about 4 minutes total. Leave pork in the skillet.

Glaze:
Stir together the brown sugar, garlic and Tabasco and pat on top of each tenderloin. Roast in the middle of the oven until a thermometer inserted diagonally in center of each tenderloin registers 140, about 25 minutes. Let pork stand in the skillet at room temperature for 10 minutes. The temperature will rise to about 155 degrees wile standing.

When ready to serve, remove the tenderloin to serving plate. If necessary, add a little water to the sauce/glaze in bottom of pan. Use this to drizzle over slices of the tenderloin.
