Spice-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin

Lots of ingredients but easy and good. The spice amounts are for one pound; I'm going to increase for a three-pound roast but maybe only double, not triple the spices.

1 t. sugar
1 t. garlic powder
3/4 t. salt
1/2 t. freshly ground allspice
1/2 t. ground cumin
1/4 t. dried thyme
1/4 t. freshly ground nutmeg
3/4 t. ground cinnamon
1/8 t. ground red pepper

1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed
2 t. olive oil

Preheat over to 350. Combine first nine ingredients; rub over pork. Let stand 20 minutes. Heat oil in a medium ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork to pan; cook 4 minutes, browning on all sides. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes per pound, turning halfway. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
