INJECTION MARINADE FOR PORK
This is an all-purpose injection to add to any pork loin, butt, or shoulder meat. You can adjust the measurement amounts to your liking. Keep in mind that pork tends to be a saltier type of meat by itself. Inject into the pork of your choice using a flavor injector tool, and then place the pork in the fridge for 12 hours or overnight. Prepare and cook, smoke, or grill pork to your liking.

Steps:
- Citrus Mojo:
- Combine all of the mojo ingredients in a large bowl and whisk well.
- Score the skin with a sharp knife and rub the pig inside and out with 3/4 of the mojo marinade. Reserve the remaining mojo to pour over the meat after it has been carved.
- Cook the whole pig in the Caja China according to manufacturer's instructions.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Score the skin of the pork shoulder. Put it into a large bowl or baking dish and pour in 3/4 of the marinade, making sure to coat the entire piece of pork. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- Put the pork shoulder, skin side up, in a roasting pan fitted with a rack, Cover with foil and roast in the oven for 3 hours. After 3 hours remove the foil, turn the heat up to 425 degrees F and roast until the skin is brown and crispy, about 30 to 45 minutes. Make sure to check every 5 or 10 minutes to make sure the skin does not burn. Remove from oven to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes before carving. Carve the meat and arrange it on a serving platter. Pour the reserved marinade over the carved meat just before serving.
THAI MARINADE [STEAK, PORK, CHICKEN OR FISH]
Steps:
- Blend everything in food processor. Use to marinate meat [8 hours or overnight], chicken [4-6 hours], or fish [1-2 hours]. I simply combine the sauce and the meat in a large ziplock bag and put it in the refrigerator for the alloted time. Then it's good to go on the grill. Heat the marinade and serve it on the side. The sauce will taste a little different every time, just because the chilies can be so unpredictable.

GRILLED OR PAN ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN IN HONEY LIME CHIPOTLE MARINADE RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:
- Trim tenderloins of fat and silver skin as much as possible. Place in a large ziploc bag or other container to marinate. In a bowl combine lime juice, zest, honey, salt, and garlic powder. Stir to combine, then pour half over tenderloins, reserving half for sauce. To tenderloins add chiles and adobo sauce. Seal and marinade in fridge. About 30 minutes before you are ready to cook, remove pork from fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large, heavy oven-proof skillet (like a cast iron skillet), heat enough oil to coat over medium high temperature. Remove tenderloins from marinade and sear in hot skillet on all sides. Place the skillet in the oven and roast tenderloins for about 15 min. Check temperature with an instant read thermometer. Remove pork from the oven at approximately 140-145, cover pork in skillet with foil. Let rest on the counter for 5-10 minutes or until temperature rises to 150. Remove pork to a cutting board, pour reserved lime juice mixture into skillet with meat juices and heat on high. Allow sauce to reduce and thicken slightly, then pour over sliced pork tenderloins. If you don't have enough sauce or it thickens too much you can add a little water and continue simmering it until it is the quantity and thickness you want. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. If you choose to grill, start at step 5 and grill your tenderloins about 15 minutes. Remove from the grill to a platter at 140°F. Pour reserved lime juice mixture over meat and cover with foil. Allow to rest 10 minutes. Then slice, garnish with cilantro and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Different cuts of pork have different flavors and textures, so it's important to choose the right one for your marinade. For example, pork tenderloin is a lean and tender cut that works well with a light marinade, while pork shoulder is a tougher cut that benefits from a longer marinade time.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh herbs, spices, and citrus fruits will give your marinade the best flavor. If you're using dried herbs or spices, be sure to use them in smaller amounts, as they can be more concentrated.
- Don't overcrowd the marinade: If you're marinating a lot of pork, make sure to use a large enough container so that the pork is completely covered by the marinade. Overcrowding the marinade will prevent it from penetrating the pork evenly.
- Marinate the pork for the right amount of time: The marinating time will vary depending on the cut of pork and the type of marinade. In general, a lean cut of pork like pork tenderloin only needs to be marinated for a few hours, while a tougher cut like pork shoulder can be marinated for up to 24 hours.
- Cook the pork properly: Once the pork has been marinated, it's important to cook it properly to ensure that it's safe to eat and that it has the best flavor. The cooking method will vary depending on the cut of pork and the recipe you're using.
Conclusion:
Pork marinade is a great way to add flavor and moisture to pork. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and flavorful marinade that will make your pork dishes even better. Whether you're grilling, roasting, or frying pork, a good marinade will help you achieve the perfect results. So next time you're cooking pork, don't forget to marinate it first!
