Jerk Pork Tenderlion


Yesterday we received over 2 feet of snow. I love the snow, but really this is enough now. This is the second historic storm this season. In our house we decided to have a luau. We are done with the snow now, and need a little warm weather inspiration. And what better way to spice it up than with some jerk seasoning.

3 lbs Pork Tenderloin
1 bunch green onions
3/4 tbsp mustard seeds
2 tbsp espresso ground coffee
1 cup fresh parsley
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup lime juice
7 cloves of garlic
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp thyme
1 tbsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lime zest
1 tbsp habenaro pepper sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar

Preheat oven to 425* Place all ingredients (except pork), into a food processor and blend until a paste forms. Rub the tenderloin down with the paste on all sides.

Please meat in the oven and bake for 15 minutes to sear meat. Reduce heat to 325* and cook until internal temperature reaches 160*. Slice and serve.

This will make a a delicious sauce that you can use to pour over the meat when serving.
