Servings: persons

2 (1 1/2 pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed of silver skin
1/2 onion, chopped
1/3 cup fresh thyme leaves
1/4 cup white vinegar
4 cloves garlic
2 habanero peppers, seeded, or more to taste
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1
Cut the tenderloin in half and set the thinner end to the side. Cut the thicker end in half lengthwise. You should have 3 mostly equal pieces.
2
Combine onion, thyme, vinegar, garlic, habanero peppers, ginger, soy sauce, vegetable oil, brown sugar, allspice, black pepper, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a blender. Puree until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides.
3
Pour Jerk marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Add pork tenderloin pieces, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours.
4
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
5
Grill pork, moving if necessary to avoid overcooking the thin parts of the meat, until dark grill marks appear and they lift easily from the grill, 6 to 7 minutes each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
