HONEY-GRILLED PORK LOIN
I wanted something different for a cookout. This is so good, if you're having company, you'd better fix two. It's butterflied, so it increases marinated flavor and shortens grilling time. Everyone I fixed this for has asked for the recipe. I marinate in the morning to have ready for dinner.

Steps:
- Trim any excess fat from the pork roast. Butterfly the roast by cutting horizontally through the center almost to the end, then opening the meat up like a book. If in doubt, ask your butcher to butterfly it for you. The meat should lie flat. Place the pork in a shallow dish.
- Combine the remaining ingredients to make a jerk paste. Spread the paste all over the pork loin, cover, and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours. Let the chilled meat come to room temperature before grilling.
- Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill to 350°F. If you are using a charcoal grill, when the coals have burned down, rake them to the side. Set a drip pan in the center of the grill and arrange the coals around it to provide indirect heat. If you're using a gas grill, place the drip pan away from the burner.
- Place the pork on the grill over the pan. Cook for about 2 hours, turning the meat once, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the meat registers 155° to 165°F.
- Cut the butterflied pork loin in half lengthwise. Cut into thin slices and serve.

BUTTERFLIED KOREAN PORK TENDERLOIN
Pork tenderloin is lean and juicy when properly cooked but has a fairly mild flavor. Combine it with assertive seasonings like soy, ginger and garlic in a Korean-style marinade, and the results are bold and delicious. Time does not include marinating time.

Tips:
- Choose a high-quality pork loin. Look for a loin that is firm to the touch and has a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that your pork loin is juicy and flavorful.
- Butterfly the pork loin. This will help the pork loin cook evenly and will also make it easier to stuff or fill.
- Season the pork loin generously with your favorite spices and herbs. This will help to enhance the flavor of the pork loin.
- Cook the pork loin over medium heat. This will help to prevent the pork loin from drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork loin is cooked to your desired doneness. The internal temperature of the pork loin should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well done.
- Let the pork loin rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the pork loin, making it more tender and juicy.
