I found a tip under anther pork tenderloin recipe on how to use oven rather than broiler. 7-8 minutes at 500 degrees. Then turnoff oven (don’t open!) and leave for an hour. Delicious, juicy and 165 degrees too. I tried to find the author of original tip to thank him/her, but couldn’t:-(
A solid base for a recipe, though if I make it again, I'll add crushed red pepper to the rub to give it a bit more zing. I added a drizzle of olive oil to the top, and I also baked it at 400 for about 20 minutes (it was a very small tenderloin) rather than dealing with the broiler.

This is an extremely tasty recipe. I added salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Rather than broiling, I roasted the tenderloin with a little water and splash of dry vermouth at 425 degrees to 145 degrees internal temperature. Delicious!
