Ingredients

  • 3 lbs boneless pork loin
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground thyme
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 8 tablespoons fruit chutney

Method

  • To make Jerk Seasoning, mix all spices together and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Remove fat cap and silver skin ( I used a filet knife).
  • Cut loin across grain into 3/4" to 1" filet mignons.
  • Wrap a slice of bacon around circumference of filets, secure with toothpick(s).
  • Sprinkle and rub Jerk Seasoning on both sides of filets. Left over seasoning can be stored in an air tight container.
  • Coat iron skillet (or other oven ready pan) with olive oil (spray on pan coating can be used instead) to high heat on stove.
  • Fry both sides of the filets until well browned (about 2 minutes per side).
  • Put browned filets and skillet into preheated oven.
  • Bake 20 minutes or until internal temp of filet is 160°F.
  • Remove from pan and let stand 5 minutes.
  • Garnish with 1 Tbsp of fruit compote per serving.
