Instructions

Prep the Pork - Pat dry the pork tenderloin and use a sharp knife to remove any silver skin or excess fat from the outside of the pork.
Dry Rub - In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and spices. Rub the tenderloin with the dry rub (making sure to get all sides) and set aside while you prep the grill.
Preheat the Grill - Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (450-500 degrees F) for zone cooking - one direct heat section (lit) and one indirect heat (unlit) section.
Grill - Once the grill is preheated, add the tenderloin to the direct heat section. Grill for 6-7 minutes, with the lid closed, per side, until it is nicely browned with grill marks. Once all sides are browned (about 12-15 minutes), transfer the pork to the indirect heat side and grill with the lid closed until cooked. This will take about 5 minutes but will vary based on pork size. The pork temperature should be 140-145 degrees F as it will cook more while it rests.
Rest and Serve - Remove the pork from the grill and allow to rest for 10 minutes before cutting and serving. This is important so the pork continues to cook and to keep it juicy and moist.

Notes

Leftover cooked pork tenderloin can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
