A super-simple but high-flavour spice rub turns lean pork tenderloin into a weeknight star. We first brown the pork in a skillet for deep colour and delicious charred bits, then finish it in the oven where it cooks more gently. The accompanying side dish combines veggies and whole grains and perks them up with an easy citrus-herb drizzle.
