Imagine lively seasoned butter melting over this tender grilled pork! Just mix up a little extra of the seasoning rub mixture and stir it into softened butter. Pass it around to top the pork.

This pork was slightly sweet, slightly spicy and all together easy to create. I do not think the butter is needed, but I made it and added the smallest sliver to the corn I made to go with this dish. Overall a good recipe if you are looking to switch up your meal plan every once in a while. Not a once/week dish for me though, even thought it was good.

I prepared this meal last night for dinner for the first time. When making something new I always ask my family to rate it on a scale from 1 to 5 so that I'll know if I should make it again or pitch the recipe. Everyone gave it a 5 (highest rating), and so did I! I didn't bother to use the teaspoon of oil before I applied the rub and I didn't need it. I put the loin in the fridge for about an hour before grilling to allow the rub to adhere nicely. I grilled it on medium heat and used a meat thermometer periodically. It took a good 30 minutes to reach an internal temperature of 155F. Then I covered it with foil to allow the juices to settle. I sliced it thinly and it was FABULOUS! Unbelievably juicy and tender and the chili crust was perfect, so flavorful and not too spicy. I highly recommend this recipe and I'll definitely be making it often. Super easy AND inexpensive ($1.99/lb. for pork tendeloin).
