JERK PORK TENDERLOIN


Pork tenderloin is probably one of my favourite dinnertime meats. This love for pork tenderloin comes from the years of eating delicious marinated pork tenderloin that my mom always makes. She is famous for it in our house. Generally we make a sort of asian soy sauce based inspired marinade, but I was obviously watching the Food Network the other day and came across a great recipe which I can't wait to try out. Anthony Sedlak is the host for the network's show called THE MAIN. He is one of my favourite's to watch and is alwas bang on with his recipes.

Here is his recipe for JERK PORK TENDERLOIN:
