Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup dark rum, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 minced garlic cloves to create the glaze.
Step 2: Season 1 lb pork tenderloin generously with salt and black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork on all sides for 3-4 minutes until browned.
Step 3: Brush half of the rum glaze over the pork and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 15-18 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F, basting with remaining glaze halfway through.
Step 4: While pork roasts, combine 1 cup finely diced pineapple, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 tsp red chili flakes, and 1 tbsp fresh lime juice in a bowl. Stir well to make the tropical chutney.
Step 5: Remove pork from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve slices topped with the pineapple chutney for a sweet and tangy Caribbean-inspired dish.
