*Serves 6
INGREDIENTS:
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 (12- to 16-ounce each) pork tenderloins, trimmed
1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
1/4 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
DIRECTIONS:
Adjust an oven rack to middle position and preheat the oven to 450
degrees F. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with a paper towel. In a small
bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Reserve 1
tablespoon of the spice mixture and use the rest to rub over the pork
tenderloin on all sides.
In a large 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat
until it is rippling and hot. Add the pork tenderloins in a single layer
and cook the pork until browned on all sides, 5-7 minutes total
(flipping as needed). Transfer the pork to an aluminum-foil lined baking
pan and bake until the meat registers 140 degrees at the thickest part,
about 15-18 minutes. Transfer the pork to a platter or plate and tent
with foil, letting it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
In a bowl, combine the reserved spice mixture, ketchup, vinegar and
sugar and brush over the cooked pork. Slice the pork and serve.
