Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Asian Dry Rub

Serve the sliced pork tenderloin with brown rice tossed with thinly sliced scallions and fresh chopped cilantro. Steamed bok choy or broccoli drizzled with a tiny bit of Asian sesame oil make quick and easy side dish options. Reserve 1 pork tenderloin to use for making Baked Pork Egg Rolls, if desired.
