Jamaican Jerk Pork Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the first 7 ingredients.
• Mix thoroughly.
• In a food processor combine green onions and garlic, peppers, onion, lemon juice, oil, soy sauce, malt vinegar and ginger.
• Blend until very smooth.
• Place pork in a glass bowl or large freezer bag, combine all ingredients and coat pork well.
• Cover and stir or flip often.
• Marinate for at least 8 hours.
• Take out of the fridge 1 hour before grilling.
• Preheat grill to medium high, skewer pork, 4 cubes to a skewer.
• Cook for 6-8 minutes on one side, flip and 6-8 minutes on the other.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pat the pork dry with a paper towel and rub 3 tablespoons of jerk seasoning on the meat. Let marinate for 45 minutes at room temperature, covered.
• After 45 minutes have passed, rub the meat with the olive oil, put on a baking sheet, and bake for 45 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes.
• On another baking sheet, roast the bananas until they begin to caramelize, about 25 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
• In a bowl, combine the mango, jalapeno, red onion, lime juice, cilantro, and bananas.

Steps:

• Soften 1 tablespoon butter; mix with peach preserves., Sprinkle chops with seasonings. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat; brown chops 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from pan., Cut peppers into thin strips. In same pan, saute peppers in remaining butter over medium-high heat until crisp-tender and lightly browned, 5-6 minutes. Add chops; top with preserves mixture. Cook, uncovered, until heated through, 30-60 seconds. If desired, serve with rice.

Steps:

• Using the tip of a paring knife, make holes 1/4 inch deep all over each pork tenderloin. Place the tenderloins in a large nonreactive baking dish and set aside while you prepare the seasoning.
• Combine the Scotch bonnets, scallions, onion, ginger, and garlic in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Add the thyme, allspice, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, vinegar, soy sauce, salt, brown sugar, and the 2 TBSP's of oil and process to a smooth puree. Or puree all of these ingredients in a blender.
• Using a rubber spatula, spread the seasoning mixture over the tenderloins, stuffing it into the holes . Let the tenderloins marinate in the refrigerator, covered for a least 4 hours, or as long as overnight, turning the meat several times. The best way to marinate this is to place half the rub and the tenderloin in a ziploc bag.
• Set up the grill for direct grilling. If using a gas grill, place the wood chips in a smoker box and preheat the grill to high; when the smoke appears, lower the heat to medium.
• If using a charcoal grill, preheat it to medium.
• When ready to cook, if using a charcoal grill, toss the wood chips on the coals. Brush and oil the grill grate. Arrange the pork tenderloins on the hot grate and grill, turning with tongs and brushing occasionally with oil, until nicely browned on both sides and cooked through, 8 - 10 minutes a side. When not turning the meat, keep the grill covered to hold in the smoke.
• Alternatively, you can also use a spit and cook the tenderloins on a rotisserie. I bought a whole tenderloin and cut it into 2 lbs pieces. I then basted the pork with the extra marinade throughout cooking. Cook to an internal temperature of 130F - 135F or until desired done-ness and remove from grill. It will continue to raise in temperature to 140-145F as it rests under tinfoil.
• Transfer the pork to a cutting board cover with tinfoil and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut it into thin diagonal slices and serve with your choice of sides. Makes FANTASTIC sandwiches the next day.

Steps:

• In bowl, combine oil, garlic, chili pepper, thyme, paprika, allspice, pepper, cumin, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; add pork, turning to coat. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.).
• Place pork on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and cook, turning twice, for about 18 minutes or until juices run clear when pork is pierced and just a hint of pink remains inside.
• Transfer to cutting board; tent with foil and let stand 5 minutes.
• Cut into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick slices.

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.

Steps:

• Marinade:.
• Put all marinade ingredients into a food processor and process until thoroughly chopped but not to the point that it turns into a paste or too liquid.
• Put marinade into a large sealable plastic bag (like a Ziploc bag).
• Meat Preparation:.
• Lightly score the fat layer of the pork loin.
• Place meat in bag with marinade.
• Marinate up to 8 hours in the refrigerator, turning occasionally.
• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Remove pork from marinade.
• Wipe most of marinade off of pork leaving some on fat layer to brown.
• Roast uncovered, fat side up, for approximately 1 hour (until internal temperature reaches 137°F).
• If the top gets too browned, cover for a few minutes, but uncover at the end of cooking time.
• Allow to rest at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Rub the tenderloins with lime juice and set aside 15 minutes. Add the Jerk Marinade and turn to coat meat well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Preheat a grill to medium-low. Remove the meat from the marinade, leaving some of the marinade clinging to the surface of the meat. Season the meat with the kosher salt and lightly oil the grill grates. Place the tenderloins on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until the pork is just cooked through and nicely browned on the outside and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 to 150 degrees F, 28 to 30 minutes. Remove the tenderloins from the grill and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. When ready to serve, slice the tenderloins into 1/2-inch thick slices on a slight diagonal and serve fanned out on a plate,.
