List of Ingredients

3 tbsps. packed brown sugar

2 tsps. paprika

3/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. ground cumin

1/4 tsp. chili powder

1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin

1 tsp. vegetable oil

1/3 cup vinegar

2/3 cup water

¼ cup ketchup

2 tbsps. minced onion

1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper

4 hamburger rolls




Recipe

Preheat the oven to 450 F.

In a small cup, combine 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar, the paprika, ½ teaspoon of the pepper, ¼ teaspoon of the salt, the cumin and the chili powder. Place the pork on a piece of waxed paper. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the pork, patting the meat to help the spices stick to it.

Heat a large nonstick skillet. Swirl in the oil, then add the pork. Cook, turning occasionally, until the pork is well browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the pork to a shallow roasting pan. Roast until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 160 F on a meat thermometer, about 15 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt, the vinegar, water, ketchup, onion, garlic and red pepper in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat slightly and boil until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 15 minutes.
