Steps:

• Cut the tenderloin in half and set the thinner end to the side. Cut the thicker end in half lengthwise. You should have 3 mostly equal pieces.

• Pour Jerk marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Add pork tenderloin pieces, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill pork, moving if necessary to avoid overcooking the thin parts of the meat, until dark grill marks appear and they lift easily from the grill, 6 to 7 minutes each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH JERK SEASONING (GLUTEN-FREE)

Steps:

• Start with a well trimmed tenderloin making sure to remove any of the "silver" skin from the surface. The silver skin is a shiny membrane you typically find on tenderloins. Once you've trimmed the ternderloin you're ready to prepare your jerk rub.
• In a small bowl, stir together the thyme, dried onion, allspice, cracked black pepper, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt. Coat tenderloin lightly with oil and rub seasoning onto meat. Set aside to marinate (wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6-8 hours).
• Prepare grill for direct heat grilling over high heat. Once grill is hot place marinated pork onto the hottest part of the grill and cook the tenderloin for about 3 minutes on each of its four sides. Cook just until the pork feels firm and springs back when pressed or an instant-read thermometer reads 145*F when inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin. Be careful not to overcook it.
• Remove from grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before cutting. Slice in about 3/4" slices and serve.
