Jerk Pork Medallions with Brussels Sprouts & Potatoes

• Pork Medallions
  • 1 pork tenderloin, sliced into 1″ thick medallions
  • 1/4 cup jerk marinade
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
• Potatoes
  • 4-5 small potatoes or 6-8 new potatoes
  • 1/3 stick butter
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tbsp dry parsley flakes
• Brussels sprouts
  • 1-2 dozen Brussels sprouts
  • 3 slices bacon, chopped

Directions

Preparation: mix brown sugar and spices into jerk marinade, pour over pork medallions and allow to marinate for 2-3 hours, turning occasionally. Clean the potatoes and boil them for 30 minutes; set aside.  Rinse the Brussels sprouts and slice each sprout in half; set aside.

Cooking: preheat a gas grill so that it’s hot, or prepare a charcoal grill.  Sear the pork medallions for 1-2 minutes per side, then reduce gas heat to medium or move medallions to a cooler place on the charcoal grill and cook for another 10 minutes, turning once.

Sauté bacon slices until nearly done, pour off most of the bacon fat but leave some.  Sauté the Brussel sprouts in the remaining bacon and bacon fat for 10-12 minutes, until done.

Melt butter with garlic and parsley flakes, pour over potatoes and toss.
