The good news: Pork tenderloin is leaner than skin-on chicken and delicious in this spicy, smoky recipe. Capsaicin, the chemical that makes chiles taste hot, can help boost metabolism; for extra fire, add the chile seeds to the marinade.

Ingredients

1/4 c. canola oil 2 scallions 2 clove garlic 2 Scotch bonnet or habanero chiles 1 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce 1 tbsp. fresh lime juice 1 tbsp. light brown sugar 2 tsp. ground allspice 1 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper 1 tsp. thyme leaves 1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg 1 1-inch piece of fresh ginger 2 pork tenderloins salt Pineapple-Jicama Salsa

Instructions

In a blender, combine 3 tablespoons of the oil with the scallions, garlic, chiles, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, allspice, black pepper, thyme, nutmeg, and ginger. Puree until smooth. Transfer the marinade to a resealable plastic bag. Add the pork tenderloins, turning to coat. Seal the bag, pressing out the air, and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Remove the pork from the marinade. Brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and season generously with salt. Grill the pork over moderately low heat, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer reaches 135 when inserted in the center of the meat, about 20 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice the pork and serve with the salsa.
