Ingredients:

  • 2 (1 to 1 1/2-lb) pork tenderloins , trimmed of fat
  • 1 cup jerk marinade , recipe follows
  • gingered bbq drizzle, for serving, recipe follows

Directions:

  1. Rinse meat well and pat dry with paper towels. Rub the lime juice all over the meat, place in a nonreactive bowl, and set aside, refrigerated, for 15 minutes. Add the Jerk Marinade and turn to coat meat well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
  2. Preheat a grill to medium-low. Remove the meat from the marinade, leaving some of the marinade clinging to the surface of the meat. Season the meat with the kosher salt and lightly oil the grill grates. Place the tenderloins on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until the pork is just cooked through and nicely browned on the outside and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 to 150 degrees F, 28 to 30 minutes. Remove the tenderloins from the grill and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. When ready to serve, slice the tenderloins into 1/2-inch thick slices on a slight diagonal and serve fanned out on a plate, drizzled with the Gingered BBQ Drizzle.
  3. Fried plantains and/or any sweet potato dish would both make nice accompaniments to the pork.
  4. Jerk Marinade:
  5. 1/2 cup chopped fresh thyme leaves
  6. 1 cup chopped green onions
  7. 1/2 cup chopped parsley leaves
  8. 1/2 cup minced onion
  9. 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  10. 2 crushed bay leaves
  11. 2 teaspoons ground allspice
  12. 1 teaspoons ground nutmeg
  13. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  14. 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
  15. 2 Scotch bonnet chiles, seeded
  16. 1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
  17. 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  18. 1 teaspoon salt
  19. 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  20. 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  21. 1/4 cup soy sauce
  22. 3 tablespoons lime juice
  23. 2 tablespoons vinegar
  24. In the bowl of a food processor combine the thyme, green onions, parsley, onion, brown sugar, bay leaves, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, coriander seeds, chiles, garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, and vegetable oil and process to a smooth paste. Transfer to a nonreactive bowl and stir in the soy sauce, lime juice, and vinegar.
  25. Refrigerate, in a glass container with a lid, until ready to use. Any unused marinade will keep for up to 1 month.
  26. Yield: about 1 1/2 cups marinade
  27. Gingered BBQ Drizzle:
  28. 6 tablespoons ketchup
  29. 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  30. 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  31. 1 tablespoon butter
  32. 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  33. 2 tablespoons vinegar
  34. 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  35. 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  36. 1 tablespoon Tamarind pulp
  37. 1 teaspoon salt
  38. 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  39. 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  40. 1/2 Scotch bonnet chile, seeded and minced
  41. Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until reduced enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Serve the sauce either warm or at room temperature, drizzled over the Jerk Pork Tenderloins.
  42. Yield: about 1 cup
