- Clean the hot grate with a wire brush; oil the grate.
- Grill the meat (uncovered for charcoal; covered for gas) over direct heat on the hottest part of the grill, taking care not to crowd the meat.
- Cook until the meat forms impressive grill marks on one side, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Turn and continue to grill (uncovered for charcoal; covered for gas) until the meat is just firm to touch and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes for turkey cutlets; 3 to 4 minutes for pork chops and chicken breasts, depending on their thickness. (If grilling pork, watch out for flare-ups.)

SPICED PORK TENDERLOIN AND AVOCADO SALSA
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Stir together salt, allspice, and cayenne. Pat pork dry and sprinkle spice rub all over pork, pressing to adhere.
- Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown pork, 1 tenderloin at a time, on all sides, about 1 minute each. Transfer as browned to a large roasting pan and arrange 2 inches apart.
- Roast in middle of oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into center of each tenderloin registers 155°F, 20 to 25 minutes. Let pork stand 5 minutes before slicing.
Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, chop your vegetables, measure your spices, and marinate your meat (if necessary). This will make the cooking process much smoother.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help distribute heat evenly and prevent your food from burning.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing or browning meat, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the meat from cooking evenly and will result in steamed meat instead of browned meat.
- Cook to the right temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that your meat is cooked to the desired temperature. This will help prevent overcooking and ensure that the meat is safe to eat.
- Let the meat rest before slicing: After cooking, let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

This Caribbean Pork with Avocado-Pineapple Salsa is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
