Instructions

1
Trim the silverskin from the tenderloins and pat dry.
2
Mix the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Rub the pork with olive oil, then press the rub all over.
3
Heat a grill to medium-high, about 450°F, with a cooler zone on one side.
4
Sear the tenderloins over direct heat for 2 minutes per side, 8 minutes total, to build a crust.

Move to the cooler side, close the lid, and cook 10 to 12 minutes until 145°F in the center.
6
Rest 8 minutes, then slice into thick medallions.
