Yields5 Servings

1 lb Pork Tenderloin

3 tbsp Instant Espresso Powder

2 tsp Kosher Salt

5 tsp Smoked Paprika

5 tsp Cayenne Powder

5 tsp Cracked Black Pepper

5 tsp Brown Sugar

2 tsp Olive Oil

Combine salt, paprika, cayenne, pepper, brown sugar in a small bowl then rub all over tenderloin and allow to rest in a plastic bag in the fridge for between 2 and 8 hours.

Preheat oven to 350℉ and have medium cast iron (or other heavy metal) skillet on medium for 5 minutes.

Scatter the espresso powder into a long, flat plate or shallow container with a lip.

Pull the tenderloin from the plastic and pat down with paper towels to dry. Then roll in the espresso powder until covered.

Heat the oil in the pan for a minute and add the pork. Cook the pork in the cast iron, rolling the tenderloin a quarter turn every 5 minutes.

After 20 minutes, transfer the whole pan with pork in it to the oven and cook another 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature is 150℉.

Allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes and then slice in half inch slices.
