Sweet sauces and glazes are a popular choice for adding flavor to pork. This dry rub combines spices and seasonings with brown sugar. Once the spice rub coats the meat it melds with the pork's natural juices as it rests in the refrigerator until its time to grill. As the meat grills, it the sugar melts to create a lacquer-like coating full of flavor. Slice this into medallions and serve it with a green vegetable and salad of leafy greens, or slice it into strips and use it as a taco filling topped with salsa, shredded slaw, and fat-free sour cream.
