Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin
• .
• Jerk Rub
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon light brown sugar, packed, optional
• dash cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
• dash ground cayenne or other ground hot chile
• 1 large or 2 small cloves garlic, crushed and finely minced

Preparation

Cut 1 pound pork tenderloin into about 8 medallions, about 1 inch in thickness. With heel of hand, gently flatten each medallion slightly.

Combine rub ingredients; sprinkle over both sides of medallions and rub in.

Grill medallions over medium-high heat 2 minutes on each side to sear. Lower heat to medium and cook for about 12 minutes longer, turning occasionally, until cooked through, about 155°.

Wine Suggestions:
My wine choice was a flavorful red French Côtes du Rhône, but I also like Pinot Noir with pork, and Shiraz would be very good with this dish.

With the spices in this dish, a fruity Reisling or Gewurztraminer would make a good match for white wine lovers.

Of course, there are no hard and fast rules. Here are more tips on pairing wines with food, from our wine expert.
