Best Darn Pork Tenderloin

A subtly sweet mango sauce compliments an aromatic spice rub for the perfect marriage of flavours. 

Ingredients:

2 pork tenderloins

3 tbsps brown sugar

1 1/2 tbsps smoked paprika

1 tsp salt

1 tsp ground mustard

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 tsp garlic

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp chili powder

2 tbsps olive oil

Sauce:

1/3 cup brown sugar

1 mango, chopped

1 tbsp minced garlic

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Combine the brown sugar, paprika, salt, pepper, mustard, garlic, cinnamon and chili and rub all over both tenderloins. Cover and refrigerate letting the rub settle in for 4-5 hours or overnight.

Combine the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and heat through until mango is softened, about 3-4 minutes, then set aside.

Heat olive oil in an oven safe skillet and brown the pork tenderloins 2-3 minutes per side. When browned pour the sauce over the tops and roast at 350°F for 20 minutes or until internal temperature reads between 145-160°F. You can give it a little broil for a couple of minutes too if you like.

Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Then serve with the sauce and pan juices. Flavourful and tender doesn't begin to describe how good it is!
