6 Tbsp. paprika
2 Tbsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp. coarse salt
1 Tbsp. chili powder
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
3 pinches cayenne pepper
24-oz. pork tenderloin, trimmed, cut into 3 to 4-oz. pieces

Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix paprika, black pepper, salt, chili powder, sugar, and cayenne together. Rub both sides of each tenderloin piece with the spice mixture.
Pan-sear the pork until it is golden brown on both sides, then transfer to the oven until done (6 to 8 minutes for each inch of thickness).
