Spice-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin

From EatingWell: Summer 2003, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)

The bright fresh taste of a watermelon and cucumber salad makes a sensational counterpoint to the fiery spice crust on this succulent pork tenderloin. It’s important to brown the meat before roasting, since this cut cooks too quickly for the surface to brown and caramelize in the oven. Grill enthusiasts may omit the stovetop browning (Step 3) and grill the tenderloins over medium heat, covered, for 20 to 25 minutes.

Yummy!

The pork came out tender and juicy with just enough spice from the rub. The salad was wonderful....so many textures and flavors married so well!

Pros: Easy, tasty!

This was ultra-easy and tasted so good! Plus I had alll the ingredients on hand. When my wife walked in the house so asked right away what was for dinner because it smelled so yummy. I'd definitely make this again.
