Jerk Pork Sandwich

1 lean pork tenderloin
Dry jerk seasoning, recipe follows
Jerk sauce, recipe follows
4 French baguettes, split
Spicy mustard (recommended: Cajun flavored)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Rub the tenderloin with the dry jerk seasoning. Bake uncovered for 3 hours. Start basting the tenderloin with Jerk Sauce after the first hour. When done, let sit until cooled before slicing. Slice 6 ounces (per sandwich) of the tenderloin and layer it on the split baguette.
