2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon mustard powder

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 clove garlic, minced

4 tablespoons dark brown sugar

For the last 5 minutes, baste the tenderloin on all sides with the bourbon glaze in the bowl.
