2 tablespoons Jamaican jerk seasoning in a jar (pick a brand with low carbs and sugars)
1/4 cup canola oil
4 pounds boneless pork loin

  • Mix jerk seasoning with the oil in a small bowl (this will thin it and cut the heat). Trim any excess fat from the pork loin, leaving a thin-layered wide strip down the center of the top. Evenly rub the entire pork loin with the jerk seasoning mixture. Place pork loin in a shallow greased roasting pan, and bake for 20 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 300 degrees F and continue baking for about 1 more hour, or until a meat thermometer stuck in the thickest part reads 145 degrees F. Remove from oven and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

JAMAICAN JERK PORK LOIN



Jamaican Jerk Pork Loin image

This is a compilation of several recipes for "Jerk Pork" that I've tried. I don't claim that it has any Jamaican authenticity at all, but we really like it. It's important to find a pork loin (not the tenderloin) that has a nice fat layer on top... it really keeps the moisture in and makes for a very nice presentation when it's browned and crisp. I made this for my mother's friend birthday party, for a crew of very discriminating palates and they went nuts. Prior to that, I didn't have a written recipe for this, but I had demands for the recipe so I had to measure as I re-created it! I hope you enjoy.

GRILLED JERK PORK TENDERLOIN



Grilled Jerk Pork Tenderloin image

I feel that the apple cider makes this jerk marinade unique, and a bit untraditional. Being from the apple country of Virginia, the apple cider was a natural. For added flavor, add apple or hickory wood chips soaked in water on top of the hot coals. You can begin grilling when the chips start smoking. Grilled pineapple goes well with this as a side dish.

Tips:

  • When selecting pork tenderloin, choose one that is firm to the touch and has no signs of spoilage.
  • To make the jerk marinade, use a combination of allspice, thyme, scallions, garlic, ginger, scotch bonnet peppers, soy sauce, brown sugar, and olive oil. You can adjust the amount of scotch bonnet peppers to suit your desired level of spiciness.
  • Allow the pork tenderloin to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but preferably overnight. This will help the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) before roasting the pork tenderloin. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the meat.
  • Roast the pork tenderloin for 20-25 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 145°F (63°C).
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Jamaican jerk pork tenderloin is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of spices in the jerk marinade gives the pork a unique and unforgettable taste. This dish is sure to impress your friends and family, and it is also easy to make. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook pork, give Jamaican jerk pork tenderloin a try.
