Jamaicanjerkporkfiletmignon Recipes

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:

• Cut the tenderloin into 3 or 4 sections.
• In a non-stick stew pan or dutch oven, heat oil and brown onions on medium heat for approximately 15 minutes.
• Brown the pork in the onions for 5 minutes and add salt & pepper.
• Add wine; cover with a lid and let simmer for 30 minutes; turning from time to time.
• Serve with Dauphine Potatoes.

Steps:

• To make Jerk Seasoning, mix all spices together and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Remove fat cap and silver skin ( I used a filet knife).
• Cut loin across grain into 3/4" to 1" filet mignons.
• Wrap a slice of bacon around circumference of filets, secure with toothpick(s).
• Sprinkle and rub Jerk Seasoning on both sides of filets. Left over seasoning can be stored in an air tight container.
• Coat iron skillet (or other oven ready pan) with olive oil (spray on pan coating can be used instead) to high heat on stove.
• Fry both sides of the filets until well browned (about 2 minutes per side).
• Put browned filets and skillet into preheated oven.
• Bake 20 minutes or until internal temp of filet is 160°F.
• Remove from pan and let stand 5 minutes.
• Garnish with 1 Tbsp of fruit compote per serving.
