Jamaican Pork Tenderloin

October 15, 2012 by Jaida Leave a Comment

I have had this poor pork tenderloin on my menu plan for weeks, months maybe, and it just kept getting pushed back for one reason or another. I knew I was going to love it, so I just kept adding it back to the menu week after week, determined to actually make it at some point. And now that I have, I’m pretty sure it will have a recurring place on the menu all.year.long.
Maeghan was right when she said the flavors were amazing!! I haven’t been to Jamaica yet, though it is on my travel list, but if this is what the food tastes like, I need to up the priority of this particular destination!! I love that the marinade is heated and used as a sauce instead of just dumped down the drain. I hate wasting marinade. Just sayin’. A little sweet, a little spicy, and pretty darn healthy too. Triple score!! Ya mon…getcha some!!

Ingredients

  • 2-3 lbs whole pork tenderloin
  • 1 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 Tbsp Jamaican jerk seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 garlic cloves pressed
Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients besides the pork loin. Mix well and pour over the pork loin (in a plastic bag or shallow dish). Place in the fridge to marinate pork loin for 4 hours (or overnight).
  2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear each side of the pork to get a nice, crispy outside.
  3. Then, place the pork onto a foil-lined baking sheet and cook for 2 to 4 hours (half the time if it is a thin pork loin). When finished cooking, sit on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to set.
  4. When the pork is almost done, pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer marinade for 10 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. To serve, slice pork loin into thick slices and drizzle with cooked marinade.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
