Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim any excess fat or silverskin from the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, ground allspice, smoked paprika, dried thyme, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and black pepper, creating a jerk-inspired spice rub.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it is fully coated.
In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
While the pork is searing, combine apple cider vinegar, lime juice, and honey in a small bowl. Brush this mixture over the seared pork tenderloin.
Transfer the skillet with the pork tenderloin to the preheated oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the jerk pork tenderloin with your favorite renal-friendly sides, such as steamed green beans or low-sodium rice.
