Ingredients

• 1 pound Pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat or silverskin from the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, ground allspice, smoked paprika, dried thyme, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and black pepper, creating a jerk-inspired spice rub.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 5

In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.

Step 6

While the pork is searing, combine apple cider vinegar, lime juice, and honey in a small bowl. Brush this mixture over the seared pork tenderloin.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet with the pork tenderloin to the preheated oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve the jerk pork tenderloin with your favorite renal-friendly sides, such as steamed green beans or low-sodium rice.
