From the Test Kitchen

In this hearty dish, Caribbean flavors abound thanks to our new jerk sauce—a warming, sticky sweet sauce native to Jamaica—which coats tender seared pork chops. A duo of mashed sweet potatoes and garlicky green beans complete the meal.

step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel and medium dice the sweet potatoes. Cut off and discard any stem ends from the greens beans. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic (or 4 cloves for 4 servings). In a bowl, whisk together the jerk sauce, honey, and 2 tablespoons of water (or 4 tablespoons for 4 servings).

2 Cook & mash the sweet potatoes

Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pot of boiling water. Cook 16 to 20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot. Add the butter; season with salt and pepper. Using a fork or potato masher, mash to your desired consistency. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

3 Cook the green beans

Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick pan (or large for 4 servings), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the green beans; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned and slightly softened. Add the chopped garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to a bowl. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.

4 Cook the steaks & serve your dish

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned steaks. Cook 4 to 6 minutes, or until browned. Flip and cook 4 minutes. Add the sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, frequently spooning the sauce over the steaks, 1 to 2 minutes for medium-rare (125°F), or until the steaks are coated and cooked to your desired degree of doneness.* Turn off the heat. Serve the cooked steaks (including any sauce from the pan) with the mashed sweet potatoes and cooked green beans. Enjoy!

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for steak. Cook the steaks an additional 2 to 3 minutes to achieve this. Consuming raw or undercooked meat, poultry, fish, seafood or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.
