BRINED PORK LOIN ROAST



Brined Pork Loin Roast image

Since everyone seems to be doing the brining thing, I thought you all might like this roast. I got the recipe several years ago on the FoodTV network - can't remember which show. The low temp isn't a typo - it cooks at 250 degrees. The flavor and taste are exceptional. Great for a Sunday dinner with garlic mashed potatoes and Sauerkraut with Apples #53036 - this recipe came from the same show. Hope you enjoy - it's a favorite of ours.

2 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
1 clove garlic, smashed

  • Bake in pre-heated oven until internal temperature of the meat is 140 degrees.

BRINED PORK ROAST



Brined Pork Roast image

Brining is a technique that is makes the roast more juicy, by making possible the accumulation of juices within the meat during cooking. The proportion of salt to water must be 1/3 to 1/2 cup per each 2 quarts of liquid (or 2/3 to 1 cup of salt per gallon), in order for this transformation to occur. The sugar balances the flavors; the herbs and spices have only a very subtle impact on the flavor of the finished dish. *Cooking time for roast is not included as this is determined by the size of the roast!

Provided by TishT

Categories     Pork

Time 12h5m

Yield 1 brine solution for roast

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 quarts water or 2 quarts apple juice
1/3 cup kosher salt (coarse grain)
1/4 cup granulated sugar or 1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon thyme
3 bay leaves
5 whole cloves
10 juniper berries, crushed (optional)
1 teaspoon anise seed
1 teaspoon black peppercorns, crushed
1 pork roast, any size

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
  • Cool to room temperature.
  • Immerse pork roast of your choice in the cooled brine mixture, and refrigerate for 12 hours or overnight (up to 24 hours) turning occasionally if necessary for even brining.
  • Remove roast from brine, rinse, and pat dry with paper towels, and roast (on a rack or grill pan) according to your favorite recipe until a thermometer, inserted in the center of the roast, reads 155 degrees.
  • Allow the roast to rest for 20 minutes before carving.
  • (Roast may be coated with mustard, breadcrumbs or glaze of your choice before or during roasting, if desired.) NOTE: Smaller cuts of pork, such as pork tenderloins, may also be brined in this way- but should be immersed in the brine solution for proportionately less time, to avoid over-salting.

Tips:

  • Choose a pork loin roast that is at least 3 pounds, and make sure it is boneless and skinless.
  • Use a large container for brining the pork loin, such as a stockpot or a plastic storage container.
  • Make sure the pork loin is completely submerged in the brine solution.
  • Brine the pork loin for at least 12 hours, but no longer than 24 hours.
  • When grilling the pork loin, use a meat thermometer to ensure that it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork loin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Brined grill-roasted pork loin is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. The brining process helps to tenderize the pork and keep it moist, while the grilling adds a smoky flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
