Grilled Jamaican Jerk Pork Recipe
Can’t head to the islands for vacation? You can still enjoy traditional Jamaican Jerk in your own backyard. I love spicy food and Jamaican jerk spices are the perfect complement to grilled pork tenderloin.
This grilled jerk pork tenderloin recipe is super easy to make and requires very little prep work so you’ll be eating in no time.
Grab a Red Stripe, heat up the grill and let’s make this jerk spiced pork tenderloin.
Cheers.
