Marinade Magic

What To Do

Mix everything but the pork loin together in a small bowl. Rub all over pork and wrap in Saran wrap. Marinate for as long as you have time, even as little as 15 minutes to as long as an hour.

Sear on all sides, then grill for about 20-30 minutes, rotating every 10 minutes, until the internal temperature is 160°F. Resist the urge to dive into it, and let it sit about 10 minutes before slicing.

Variation on a Theme—Purist, From Scratch, and Oven-Baked

2-3 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
About 1-2T of ideally fresh rosemary
Hawaiian salt and black pepper, to taste
​
1 pork loin

Pre-heat oven to 375°F. Rub salt and pepper over the pork loin. Spread garlic slices over and sprinkle with fresh rosemary. Bake at 375°F on a broiler pan for about 1½ hours until the juices run clear and the outside is brown.

Take it out of the oven and let sit for 10 minutes or so. Slice thinly and start eating.

Notes and Talking Story

  • As a bonus, the double recipe means you have enough for the most amazing sandwiches. Just slice very thinly. Way better than cold cuts. 
  • Alternately, freeze the 2nd pork loin (raw) in the marinade. Just be very careful with handling and keep track of how long it’s in your freezer.
