This recipe can be easily doubled tripled for 4 to 6 people. You could also grill this over coals or cook in the broiler. Serve with creamy baby lima beans and rice, or a vegetable and tossed salad. Scroll down the page to see more pork tenderloin recipes, including several from other Guides.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound pork tenderloin
  • .
  • Jerk Rub
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon light brown sugar, packed, optional
  • dash cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • dash ground cayenne or other ground hot chile
  • 1 large or 2 small cloves garlic, crushed and finely minced

Preparation:

Cut 1 pound pork tenderloin into about 8 medallions, about 1 inch in thickness. With heel of hand, gently flatten each medallion slightly.

Combine rub ingredients; sprinkle over both sides of medallions and rub in.

Grill medallions over medium-high heat 2 minutes on each side to sear. Lower heat to medium and cook for about 12 minutes longer, turning occasionally, until cooked through, about 155°.

Wine Suggestions:
My wine choice was a flavorful red French Côtes du Rhône, but I also like Pinot Noir with pork, and Shiraz would be very good with this dish. With the spices in this dish, a fruity Reisling or Gewurztraminer would make a good match for white wine lovers.

Of course, there are no hard and fast rules. Here are more tips on pairing wines with food, from our wine expert.
