This six-ingredient spice rub is super-simple, full of flavor, and easily elevates the simple pork tenderloin to something worthy of a dinner party. Ready to serve in just 36 minutes, this pork is tender and moist on the inside with a dusting of cumin, oregano, thyme and garlic which brings complexity to each bite. Add a side of mashed sweet potato and some simply roasted green beans for a wonderful full plate. Leftover pork is great stirring into steamed rice or quinoa with other leftover vegetables for a tasty one-bowl meal or layer it on bread for a great sandwich option. Keep a bit of this run on hand for other meals. It works equally well on beef, chicken and fish.
