• 2 tablespoons ground coffee
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

1. Prepare the Rub:
   • In a small bowl, combine the ground coffee, brown sugar, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix them well to create the coffee rub.
2. Coat the Pork:

3. Marinate:
   • Place the coffee-rubbed pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or in a covered dish. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
4. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
5. Sear the Pork:
   • Heat a large ovenproof skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add a little oil and sear the coffee-rubbed pork tenderloin on all sides until it’s browned.
6. Roast in the Oven:
   • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork tenderloin for about 20-25 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
7. Rest and Slice:
   • Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice it into medallions and serve.
