Ingredients

  • 2 Pork Tenderloins 16 oz each
  • 2 Tbsp 32g Olive Oil
  • 3 Tbsp Salt-Free Jerk Seasoning
  • 1/2 large 180g Red Onion
  • 2 65g Jalapeño Peppers, stems removed
  • 4 cloves Peeled Garlic
  • 2 Tbsp 30g Lime Juice (about 1 small lime)
  • 2 Tbsp 30g Soy Sauce
  • 3 Tbsp 45g Cider Vinegar

Instructions

  • Add the red onion, jalapeño, garlic, soy sauce, and vinegar to a food processor. Blend until smooth.
  • Place the pork tenderloins in a large bowl and pat dry with a paper towel before coating with the olive oil. Add the jerk seasoning and use a rubber spatula to evenly coat the pork tenderloins.
  • Set a pressure cooker's sauté function to HI and let the pot fully heat up before adding the pork tenderloins. Cook for 2 minutes, untouched, before flipping and cooking and additional 2 minutes. Turn off the sauté function.
  • Add the jerk sauce from the food processor to the pot in an even layer. Seal and pressure cook on HI for 12-14 minutes with quick release pressure.
  • Once the pork is cooked, transfer to a bowl to shred with forks or meat claws. (You can also shred in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.)
  • Add the shredded pork back to the sauce in the pot, stirring everything together. (Optional for the Ninja Foodi: Broil for 10-12 minutes for crispy edges.) Serve with pineapple salsa and warm tortillas.

Notes

For the Pineapple Salsa

  • 1/2 (300g) Pineapple, diced
  • 1/4 (90g) Red Onion, diced
  • 1 (150g) Red Bell Pepper, diced
  • 1-2 Jalapeño Peppers, diced
  • Juice of 1 Lime
  • 1/2-1 Tbsp Chopped Cilantro
  • 1/2 tsp Jerk Seasoning
Mix everything together and refrigerate until served.

For Slow Cooker Prep

Sear the pork tenderloins in a large skillet before adding to a crockpot with the jerk sauce. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or until the pork reaches 165ºF. You can transfer to a baking sheet to broil in the oven for crispy edges, if desired.
