Ingredients

  • 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
  • ¼ cup butter, cut into small pats
  • Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and position the rack in the center.
