directions
Preheat oven to 375*F (190*C). Place a wire rack on a sheet pan. Rub the pork tenderloins with salt and pepper.
In a cast iron frying pan over medum high heat sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until well caramelized, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a clean work surface.
Brush with pork rub until well coated, tranfer to the prepared sheet pan and place on the middle rack of the oven.
Roast until medium rare, about 6-7 minutes. Remove from the heat, and brush with any remaining pork rub.
Loosely cover with foil, reserve and keep warm until needed.
In a small saucepan over low heat combine all the pork rub ingredients. Gently simmer until aromatic, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat, transfer to a nonreactive container and cool completely. Refrigerate covered.
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a small oven proof baking dish combine the carrots, cinnamon sticks and butter. Place on the middle rack of the oven and roast until lightly caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
Remove from the heat and keep warm until needed.
