Spice-Rubbed, Grilled Pork Loin

My husband made this amazing pork loin for my birthday last night. It was so tender, juicy, and tasted delicious. The recipe is pretty simple, as along as you have a grill and a couple hours you can put a mouth-watering dinner on the table. 
This pork loin rested for 30 minutes and all that juice came out while we were cutting the meat. *It would be great to use the extra sauce to make a quick pan gravy.*

1 boneless pork top loin roast, about 4-5 lbs.
4 tbs. extra-virgin olive oil

Dry rub-
2 tsp. sugar
2 tsp. smoked paprika
1 1/2 tsp onion powder
1 1/2 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp Kosher salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. sage

Place pork loin in a ceramic or glass casserole dish. Rub with the olive oil. In a small bowl combine all the ingredients for the dry rub. Coat the pork loin with the rub mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours or up to overnight.

Preheat one side of the grill to 400 degrees. Sear the pork loin, over direct heat, on each side for about 10 minutes, until brown. Move pork loin away from direct heat, cover grill and cook for 70 to 90 minutes, or until the pork's internal temperature reach 150 degrees. 

Remove the pork loin from the grill, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for at least 20 minutes. Slice and serve. Enjoy!
