Servings: 4
Directions
- Rub whole tenderloin with Jerk Seasoning. Prepare a covered grill for indirect cooking (or possibly preheat oven to 450 degrees for conventional cooking): Bank medium-warm coals (thickly covered with white ash) to one side of grill and place meat on opposite side. Place whole tenderloin in grill in covered grill and cook 15 to 20 min or possibly till meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 160 degrees. To cook in a conventional oven at 450 degrees, place roast in an open pan and cook about 20 min or possibly till internal temperature reads 155 degrees on a meat thermometer. Allow roast to stand 10 min before cutting. In a large bowl toss together beans, onion, chili pwdr and cumin. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, film with a little oil and stir-fry the bean mix till heated through, about 3-4 min. Toss bean mix with minced fresh coriander, lime juice, and salt. Serve sliced tenderloin with beans, warmed tortillas and salsa.
