Grilled Pork Tenderloin With Latin Spices

A little-known fact: Pork tenderloin is just as lean and low-fat as skinless chicken breast, with slightly less than 3 grams of fat in a 3-ounce cooked serving. It’s versatile, too, and can be roasted, grilled, sautéed or stir-fried.

Makes 8 servings (4 ounces cooked per serving)

Ingredients
Latin spices:
2½ tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 pork tenderloins (about 2-2½ pounds total)

Directions
1. Mix Latin spices together in a small bowl.

2. Rub pork tenderloins, covering completely, with spice mixture.

3. Refrigerate in a covered container for two hours or overnight.

4. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling.

5. Preheat gas or charcoal grill for medium-high heat.

6. Cover and grill pork, turning occasionally, for total of 10 to 15 minutes. Pork is thoroughly cooked when thermometer registers 150 F to 155 F.

7. Transfer cooked pork to cutting board, and let rest for ten minutes before slicing.
