4 slices bacon
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. Jamaican jerk seasoning
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 T orange zest
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. fresh squeezed orange juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl combine 2 Tbsp. brown sugar, Jamaican jerk seasoning, salt, pepper, and orange zest. Rub tenderloins with seasoning mixture.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat and when hot add tenderloins. Sear each side for 1 minute, until lightly browned. Remove tenderloins from skillet and put in roasting pan.
  • Dredge bacon in 1 Tbsp. brown sugar and top each tenderloin with 2 pieces of bacon. Add pan to pre-heated oven and roast for 20-30 minutes until a meat thermometer inserted into the roast reads 150 degrees F, then remove from oven.

  • Remove pork from oven and let sit 10 minutes before carving to allow pork to fully cook and flavors to meld.

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.

AMAZING JERK PORK TENDERLOIN



Amazing Jerk Pork Tenderloin image

This is one of the very best recipes for jerk pork tenderloin, and will work just as well using a pork loin roast. If you are afraid of the extreme heat just use 1 jalapeño pepper seeded and finely chopped in place of the habanero pepper, or use the Scotch Bonnet peppers, my family loves extreme heat so I use 5 habaneros lol, please adjust the heat to suit your taste! Plan ahead the pork needs to marinate for 24 hours. This recipe is for one 1-1/2-pound pork tenderloin, you can double the recipe, but make two separate bowls of marinade and marinade each tenderloin in a separate bag. Scotch bonnet peppers can be used also in place of the habanero peppers. For the habanero pepper use 1 for a mildly spicy flavor and 4 for very spicy, if you are using the Scotch Bonnet peppers you would use 10-12 to give you the proper heat of an authentic Jerk marinade, although it is not necessary to "butterfly" the pork, but it will increase the marinade to penetrate the flavors better. Try to use only kosher salt for this. If you love Jerk, you will LOVE this!

Time 1h45m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

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

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • 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.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality pork tenderloin: This will ensure that your dish is tender and juicy. Look for a tenderloin that is about 1 pound in weight and is free of any blemishes.
