Jerk Pork Tenderloin with Peach Salsa

Course Main Course

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ripe peaches, diced
  • 2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely diced
  • 1 cucumber, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely diced
  • salt, to taste
  • 1 pork tenderloin, about 1 1/4 lbs
  • 2 tbsp jerk seasoning
  • coconut oil, for cooking

Instructions
 

  • For the salsa, combine all ingredients and season with salt. Let sit while you prepare the pork.
  • For the pork, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Season the pork tenderloin with jerk seasoning by sprinkling the surface with the seasoning and rolling the tenderloin around so that the seasoning adheres to the outside. Heat about 1 tsp coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tenderloin on all sides until nicely browned. Transfer the tenderloin to a baking sheet and place it in the oven (or transfer the skillet to the oven if it is ovenproof.) Cook until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the tenderloin registers 135-140 degrees, about 10-15 minutes, depending on size. Allow meat to rest for 5-10 minutes, then carve into slices. If desired, sprinkle with additional jerk seasoning and serve with the Peach Salsa, over Coconut Rice, recipe link in notes.
