- 2Rub the tenderloin all over with ¾ of the spice mixture.
- 3In a large bowl, combine the carrots, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the remaining spice mixture.
- 4Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the pork on the grill and cook until the pork begins to char, about 4 minutes per side. Continue cooking, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 12 minutes more. Meanwhile, place the carrots on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until they are tender, about 7-8 minutes.
