Rub
2 Tbs dark brown sugar1 Tbs finely ground espresso
1 Tbs ground coriander
2 Tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground ginger
1-2 tsp red chili flakes or chili powder
salt and pepper to taste (I used smoky and espresso flavored salts - about a generous 1/4 tsp)
1 or 2 pork tenderloins
Mango Salsa
1 - 2 mangoes
1/2 cup peeled diced cucumber (or unpeeled Persian Cucumber)
1 Tbs diced jalapeño
1/3 cup diced onion (we used scallions)
2 Tbs lime juice
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Salt to taste
In a small bowl whisk rub ingredients together.
In a medium bowl mix salsa ingredients together, taste and adjust ingredients to taste.
Rub the rub mixture over pork tenderloins and prepare grill to medium high heat. When grill is hot place tenderloins onto grill and lower the direct heat to medium low. Turning occasionally, grill until the pork is about 140 degrees when measure with a meat thermometer and allow pork to rest for about 10 minutes.
Slice pork and serve with salsa.
