GUAVA-GLAZED JERK PORK TENDERLOIN



Guava-Glazed Jerk Pork Tenderloin image

Jerk is a powerfully complex blend of spices and aromatics redolent with cinnamon, allspice, cumin and chiles. Historically, it's tied to Maroons fleeing enslavement in the Jamaican foothills, and is among the most iconic flavors of the Caribbean. True jerk is grilled over an open fire, and is as much a seasoning as it is an action, because you can "jerk" pork, goat, chicken and even fruits and vegetables. It's often applied to dark, often gamey or gristly cuts of meat that stand up to complex flavors. While not traditional, this leaner, lighter pork is an excellent vessel for jerk. It's especially good when marinated overnight and grilled, but is so simple to prepare it can easily be made for a weeknight celebration. A simple jelly glaze at the end adds sweetness and tang, caramelizing under a quick broil. Pair with rice and peas, maduros or a bright, fresh garden salad.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, scrubbed and finely chopped
3 scallions, coarsely chopped
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
1 to 2 Scotch bonnet or habanero chiles (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
3 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin (see Tip)
1/4 cup guava jelly or preserves (or other tangy fruit jam, such as mango, peach or apricot)
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine the ginger, scallions, garlic, salt and chiles (if using) in a food processor or blender and pulse until finely minced. Add the thyme, sugar, allspice, nutmeg, cayenne, cumin, coriander, lime juice and oil, then blend until the mixture becomes a fine paste.
  • Using a clean towel or paper towels, pat the pork tenderloin dry. Using a sharp paring knife, cut a series of deep holes into the meat.
  • Transfer the pork to a zip-top bag or container with a tight lid, and pour over the marinade. Let sit for at least 10 minutes on the countertop, or refrigerate overnight if possible. Bring to room temperature before continuing.
  • When ready to cook, heat the oven to 400 degrees, adjusting your rack to the top third of the oven. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then set a little water in a small pot and bring to a boil.
  • Place the tenderloin in the center of the pan and put the pan on the center rack of the oven. Roast until the internal temperature is 145 degrees in the thickest part, flipping every 10 minutes, for about 25 minutes to evenly brown the outside.
  • Mix the guava jelly and lemon juice with 1 tablespoon of the boiling water, and use a fork to break up then stir to form a glaze.
  • Increase the oven heat to a high broil. Carefully pull the pan out of the oven, and brush the tenderloin with the glaze. Broil in the upper third of the oven 5 to 7 minutes, until it's a toasty dark brown with some charred spots, brushing once more with any remaining glaze if desired.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and set the tenderloin on a carving board to rest for about 5 minutes. Cut into slices and pour over any juices that remain.

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.

Pork tenderloin is a wonderful cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways, but when it's jerk seasoned, it becomes something truly special. The combination of spicy heat, sweetness, and smoky flavor make jerk pork tenderloin recipes amazing.

What is Jerk Seasoning?

Jerk seasoning is a Jamaican style of seasoning that involves a blend of spices including allspice, thyme, cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic, and scotch bonnet peppers, among other ingredients. The spice combination is then rubbed onto meat before cooking, giving it a spicy, smoky, and slightly sweet flavor.

Preparing Pork Tenderloin for Jerk Seasoning

Before applying jerk seasoning to pork tenderloin, it is important to ensure that the meat is properly trimmed. Remove any silver skin or excess fat from the meat, as these can create a tough texture and interfere with the flavor. Once trimmed, the pork can be rubbed with the jerk seasoning, either directly on the meat or mixed into a marinade.

Cooking Jerk Pork Tenderloin

There are several methods for cooking jerk pork tenderloin. One method is to grill the meat over indirect heat, turning it occasionally until it is cooked through. Another method is to roast the pork in the oven, basting it with a glaze made with honey, brown sugar, and lime juice. A third option is to sear the meat in a hot skillet and finish it in the oven.

Serving Jerk Pork Tenderloin

Jerk pork tenderloin can be served in a variety of ways. For a classic Jamaican meal, serve the meat with rice and peas, plantains, and a side of hot sauce. Alternatively, slice the pork and use it to top a salad or make a sandwich. The leftovers can also be used in a stir-fry or added to a soup or chili.

Jerk Pork Tenderloin Recipe Variations

While traditional jerk seasoning is delicious on its own, there are several variations to the recipe that can be used to customize the flavor. For example, adding more or fewer scotch bonnet peppers can increase or decrease the level of spiciness. Adding a sweet ingredient, such as pineapple or mango, can balance out the heat with a touch of sweetness.

Jerk pork tenderloin is a delicious and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed by anyone who loves spicy food. To make an amazing jerk pork tenderloin, there are several valuable tips that you need to consider. In this article, we will share with you some of the most important tips that you should keep in mind when making this dish.

Tips for Preparing the Pork Tenderloin

The first step in making an amazing jerk pork tenderloin is preparing the pork. Here are some tips to help you with this:
1. Choose the right cut
The pork tenderloin is the best cut of pork to use when making this dish. It is lean and tender, making it perfect for marinating and grilling. When selecting a pork tenderloin, look for one that is pink in color and free from any visible fat or gristle.
2. Trim the fat and silver skin
Before you start marinating the pork, you need to trim off any excess fat or silver skin. The silver skin is the thin, tough membrane that covers the meat. It can be difficult to remove, but it is important to do so because it can be tough and chewy when cooked.
3. Cut the pork into even pieces
When grilling pork tenderloin, it's important to cut it into even pieces to ensure that it cooks evenly. Cut the pork into pieces that are about 1 inch thick.

Tips for Making the Marinade

The marinade is one of the most important components of jerk pork tenderloin. Here are some tips to help you make a delicious marinade:
1. Use fresh ingredients
To make a great marinade, you need to use fresh ingredients. This includes fresh herbs, such as thyme and oregano, and fresh spices, such as allspice and nutmeg. Using fresh ingredients ensures that the marinade is flavorful and aromatic.
2. Use Scotch bonnet peppers
Scotch bonnet peppers are a key ingredient in jerk seasoning. They are very hot, but they also have a fruity flavor that is unique to this type of pepper. If you can't find Scotch bonnet peppers, you can substitute them with habanero peppers, which are similar in heat and flavor.
3. Don't skimp on the seasoning
Jerk seasoning is all about bold flavors. Don't be afraid to use plenty of seasoning in your marinade. This includes spices like allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger, as well as herbs like thyme and oregano.

Tips for Grilling the Pork Tenderloin

Grilling pork tenderloin can be a bit tricky, but these tips will help you get it right:
1. Preheat your grill
Before you start grilling the pork, you need to preheat your grill. This ensures that the grill grates are hot enough to sear the meat and prevent it from sticking.
2. Sear the pork first
To get the best flavor and texture, it's important to sear the pork before cooking it through. This creates a crust on the outside of the meat that locks in the juices and flavor.
3. Use a meat thermometer
To ensure that your pork is cooked to the right temperature, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the pork should reach 145°F.

Conclusion

Making an amazing jerk pork tenderloin is not as difficult as it may seem. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can create a flavorful and spicy dish that everyone will love. Remember to choose a good-quality pork tenderloin, make a flavorful marinade, and grill the pork to perfection. By following these tips, you'll be able to make a delicious jerk pork tenderloin that will impress your friends and family.
