Cajun Barbecue Rub for Pork Tenderloin

Rub lime juice over the pork tenderloin.

Mix the remaining ingredients in a small bowl with a fork, then gently pat onto the tenderloin, coating evenly.

To broil, line a broiler pan with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick spray. Preheat the broiler, set the tenderloin on the pan, and broil 5 to 6 inches from the heat, turning once, until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the thickest part of the tenderloin registers 160°F, about 14 minutes.

To grill outdoors, spray the grill rack with nonstick spray then preheat the grill to high or prepare a high-heat coal bed in a charcoal grill. Set the prepared tenderloin directly over the heat and grill, turning once, until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into center of the thickest part of the tenderloin registers 160°F, about 12 minutes.

To grill indoors, spray a grill pan with nonstick spray then heat over medium-high heat. Lay the prepared tenderloin in the pan and cook, turning once, until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the thickest part of the tenderloin registers 160°F, about 14 minutes.

Transfer the tenderloin to a cutting board; let stand 5 minutes before slicing into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Yields about 4 ounces per serving.
