Tips:

  • To ensure the pork tenderloin cooks evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the pork tenderloin in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the tenderloin on all sides for about 2 minutes per side, then reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
  • Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or vegetables.
  • For a more flavorful dish, marinate the pork tenderloin in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, cumin, and chili powder for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you're using wooden skewers to grill the pork tenderloin, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help prevent them from burning.

Conclusion:

This Caribbean pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
