Spicy Grilled Pork Tenderloin

Don't let the title scare you - this pork doesn't taste spicy hot - but it does have a lot of spices!



Start by combining all the spices in a small bowl. First, the brown sugar, salt, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder and ground mustard,



then the cumin and oregano,



allspice and pepper. Stir it up well to blend. Place the pork in a shallow dish and then rub the spice mixture over the pork.



Cover the meat and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. When ready to grill, first make the sauce; in a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, chili powder



and cola. (it's ok to use diet coke!)



Grill the pork, covered, over indirect heat for 25 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160. Baste occasionally with the sauce. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
