Reviews
For individual tenderloin’s(~1.3 lbs), the cook time is ridiculous. After 1 hour, they had an internal temp of 180 F, which is way overdone. The seasoning and the sauce are fantastic, a would be great on a pork shoulder.
Recipe says to cook for 3 hours, but doesn’t not mention how many lbs of meat to use. heh. So at any rate, mine ended up being done at 2 hours and probably could have been taken out sooner. Also I recommend doubling the sauce recipe as they don’t give you much to baste with.
My husband loved this recipe. I didn’t use pork. I used chicken and cooked it for only 1 hour at 300 degrees and poured sauce on the chicken every 20 minutes. A bit overheated but good. Next time I will tone down the powered peppers so that my nose won’t be so runny.
This is a wonderful recipe. My family and I recommend cooking this dish. The pinapple in the jerk sauce gave it a unique and wonderful flavor. All of the spices in the rub and sauce combined to make a unique and wonderful taste. Instead of chipoltle pepper, we used chipoltle adobe sauce; 1 tsp (2tsp since we doubled the recipe) as the recipe called for. We cooked 3 lbs of pork tenderloin and doubled the sauce recipe. The roast we bought was thick and tied together. When I cut the string, it was in two halves. The tenderloin was done in 2 hours and 20 inutes. The rub was perfect in quantity.
An easy recipe and something different to share with yourself and/or family.
