Here it is, I found the recipe online but made a few small changes. I had it all typed up because my sister-in-law wanted it earlier.
pork tenderloin recipe:
Ingredients for the paste:
1 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
For the pork loin:
I used a 3 pound pork tenderloin. You could probably use up to a 5lb. 3 pounds should feed five adults.
2 tablespoons of your favorite all seasoning,
(I like Stubbs pork seasoning. I recommend that's what you use)
2 tablespoons of minced shallots or minced onion. (Use shallots if you can get them)
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
3/4 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano leaves
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley leaves
OK now the instructions:
Rinse off your pork tenderloin and Pat dry with a paper towel.
In a small-size bowl, combine the shallots, garlic, thyme, oregano, stubs pork seasoning and Parsley. Rub this mixture all over your tenderloin, spread it evenly and rub it in pressing hard. Let it sit at least an hour if you can, longer if you have time, even overnight in the fridge. Try to let it sit at least an hour if you don't want to wait overnight. If you don't have time you can just continue on without letting it sit.
Preheat your oven to 350°. Put your pork loin in a roaster. If your roaster is not big enough cut it in half and put two pieces side-by-side. Cook it uncovered for 30 minutes at 350°. (Preheated)
During this 30 min cooking time, combine and mix all the ingredients for your paste. When you remove the tenderloin from the oven after 30 minutes, once it's cool enough to handle take the paste and pat it on all over the top of your tenderloins, use it all. If you have enough, do the sides and bottom, but make sure you do at least the top. As your tenderloin cooks, the brown sugar will reduce and melt down the sides of your tenderloin and then into the juices in the roaster. Cook your tenderloin to an internal temperature of 155°. It will cook another 3 to 5° after you take it out, and you don't want it dry. If you pull it at 155° internal temperature it will be done. If you cook it past 155° internal, it could get dry. It will continue to cook to nearly 160°. I recommend you get a accurate internal temperature probe if you do not have one.
I'm guessing it took me another 35 to 45 minutes after I added the brown sugar paste to finish, but every oven will be different. also different sized pork loins will be different. This is why you need a internal temperature probe. They are cheap, you can buy them anywhere for a few bucks.
Once you take it out of the oven when it's finished, take a large spoon and dip the brown sugar sauce off the bottom and drizzle it over the top of the tenderloin.
Enjoy
