Jerk Pork Tenderloin Sliders Directions

  1. Prepare Drum Smoker or other BBQ grill/smoker for indirect cooking at 275⁰. Add cherry wood to hot coals for smoke flavor.
  2. Remove any excess fat or silver skin from each pork tenderloin—season with Jerk Rub on all sides.
  3. Place each tenderloin on the cooking rack of the smoker and insert a probe thermometer to monitor internal temperature.
  4. Cook for 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 135⁰ in the center of the tenderloin.
  5. Apply Jerk Glaze on all sides of the tenderloins and cook until internal temperature reaches 145⁰ (about ten more minutes).
  6. Remove from smoker and rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  7. Split Hawaiian Rolls in half, remove the top portion of each roll, and place slices of pork tenderloin on the bottom half. Drizzle with Jerk glaze and top with Caribbean Cole slaw. Place the top portion of each roll on the slaw and serve.

For Jerk Glaze

  1. Add the ketchup, pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey, lime juice, and vinegar in a small saucepan over medium. Stir to combine and add the jerk seasoning, garlic, onion, and peppers. Bring to a slight boil and reduce heat to simmer for 10 minutes. Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and add to the pot. Continue simmering the glaze until it thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

For Caribbean Coleslaw

  1. In a small bowl, add the vinegar, Dijon Mustard, honey, and sugar. Whisk to combine and drizzle in olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the bag of coleslaw, mango, red onion, green onion, and habanero in a medium-sized bowl. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss to combine. Store in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
