Renal Friendly Jerk Pork Tenderloin Recipes

CHEF JOHN'S GRILLED JERK PORK TENDERLOIN

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.
• Combine onion, thyme, vinegar, garlic, habanero peppers, ginger, soy sauce, vegetable oil, brown sugar, allspice, black pepper, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a blender. Puree until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides.
• 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).

JAMAICAN JERK PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix jerk seasoning with the oil in a small bowl (this will thin it and cut the heat). Trim any excess fat from the pork loin, leaving a thin-layered wide strip down the center of the top. Evenly rub the entire pork loin with the jerk seasoning mixture. Place pork loin in a shallow greased roasting pan, and bake for 20 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 300 degrees F and continue baking for about 1 more hour, or until a meat thermometer stuck in the thickest part reads 145 degrees F. Remove from oven and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
