GRILLED PORK LOIN WITH HERBS, CUMIN AND GARLIC



Grilled Pork Loin With Herbs, Cumin and Garlic image

Pork loin is an excellent cut to grill for a crowd. The cut is larger and more marbled with fat than a lean tenderloin, which is entirely different and should not be used as a substitute in this recipe. The pork loin has a richer flavor and meatier texture. Butterflying a loin helps it cook quickly and relatively evenly over direct heat, which is the easiest way to go on the grill. If you'd rather cook this in the oven, you can broil the meat: Place the pork, opened and flat, on a rimmed baking sheet, and broil it on low for 7 to 12 minutes per side, until done to taste.

Time 8h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 1/2 to 4 pounds boneless pork loin, trimmed of some but not all fat
Grated zest and juice of 2 lemons, plus more lemon wedges for serving
8 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1/3 cup packed fresh basil leaves and tender stems, plus more for garnish
1/3 cup packed parsley leaves and tender stems
3 tablespoons fresh marjoram or oregano leaves
3 tablespoons cilantro leaves and tender stems
2 tablespoons thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon black pepper
Large pinch red pepper flakes, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Butterfly the pork by slicing through it horizontally until you almost cut through, but leaving it attached on one side. Open the meat like a book. Depending upon the cut, it should be about 1 to 2 inches in thickness.
  • In a blender, purée all of the remaining ingredients, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to get a smooth paste. (Add a little water if needed to make the mixture move.) Spread herb paste all over the pork, making sure to cover it thoroughly and evenly. Place the meat in a large resealable plastic bag (folding it back together like a closed book if necessary to fit it in the bag) and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or up to 48 hours.
  • Light the grill or heat to medium. Lay the pork out on the grill so it lies flat (like an open book). Cover grill and let cook until char marks appear on one side, 7 to 12 minutes. Use tongs and a large spatula to flip the meat. Continue to cook on the other side until the center of the meat registers 135 degrees on an instant-read thermometer for medium doneness, about 5 to 8 minutes longer. (The pork will continue to cook as it rests.)
  • Transfer meat to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve the pork slices garnished with red pepper flakes, lemon wedges, and basil and thyme leaves.

ROASTED GARLIC AND CHILE-CRUSTED PORK LOIN



Roasted Garlic and Chile-Crusted Pork Loin image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield Feeds 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 bulbs Roasted Garlic (see Note)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground ancho chile
2 teaspoons dried flaked chipotle chile
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 boneless double pork loin roast (about 3 pounds)
4 large cloves garlic, quartered
Kosher salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Squeeze the roasted garlic pulp from each clove into a bowl. Add the salt, ground and flaked chiles, cumin, brown sugar, and olive oil and make a wet rub.
  • Stab holes into the pork loin and insert a quarter of a garlic clove into each. Massage the wet rub all over the meat, pushing some of it in between the two loins. Do this ahead, cover, and refrigerate overnight for maximum flavor penetration.
  • Fire up the grill, mounding a hot coal bed on one side. Just before grilling, season the meat all over with the salt and a grinding of black pepper.
  • Set the meat directly over the coals to sear for 2 minutes, making sure to scrape onto the roast any of the coating rub stuck to the plate it was setting on. Sear the remaining 3 sides for 2 minutes each. Push the meat to the other side of the grill, away from the coals. Cover the grill and adjust the heat so that it's from 325 to 350 degrees F inside. Roast for about 1 hour, till the meat reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees F. Pull the roast off the grill and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  • Carve and serve immediately, or let it cool completely and then slice for sandwiches.

Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy crust, ensure the pork loin is completely dry before coating it with the cornmeal mixture.
  • For a spicier dish, use a hotter chili powder or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cornmeal mixture.
  • If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, you can use a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • To prevent the pork loin from drying out, cook it over medium-low heat and use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Allow the pork loin to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

This cornmeal and chile-cumin coated pork loin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The crispy crust and tender, juicy meat are sure to please everyone at the table. Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
