Take a culinary trip to the Caribbean with this easy Jerk-style pork tenderloin dish. Try serving this with hot cooked brown rice and steamed fresh green beans. If you’re pressed for time, use six lean boneless pork chops, trimmed of all visible fat, or cut the tenderloin into 12 slices and, with the heel of your hand, press slices into 1/2-inch-thick medallions. Rub the spice mixture onto both sides of each medallion. Spray a large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray, and sauté the medallions, in batches if necessary, over medium-high heat until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Leftovers of this spicy Jamaican favorite are delicious reheated with a little tomato sauce and a dash of hot pepper sauce.
