Don't ya love Sam's?
My wife bought me a center cut pork loin from Sams Club the other day. I have been trying to find recipes but I cannot find any that look good on the WSM. I am afraid of drying it out and may just cook it in the crock pot or cut it in half and put half in crock pot and smoke the other half.
Any ideas? It appears to have multiple cuts of meat on it and I can provide a photo if needed.
Yeah, I've gotten those pork loins from Sam's myself. I have a small refridge. right now and no chest deep freezer (those all left during Katrina).
So, I get them, especially when they are like $1.49 - $1.99/lb. I usually cut them in half.
All the advice here is great. Definitely brine if smoking...the bacon trick works (what food doesn't taste better wrapped in bacon?)....
I've also cut the loin into medallions...I've sauteed those with different seasonings. I've taken those and cut them about 1-2" thick...cut pockets in them for various stuffings...
Butterflying the whole loin for stuffing is fun.
One of my recent favorites is to give it about the same treatment as I do for an old recipe I originally did with beef eye of round...teriyaki style.
I don't have the recipe in front of me, but in general you make a maridade of:
Teriyaki Sauce
Dry Sherry
Pure Olive oil (not extra virgin, but the pure stuff which is flavorless)
1 Packet of dried Lipton Onion Soup Mix
Brown sugar
And a little black pepper.....let this marinate at least over night.
Then, when ready, I reserve the marinade for bastes...and I set up the rotisserie on my Weber Kettle Charcoal grill....with coals in the holders I got on one side...and do a slow rotisserie...basting the meat as I go.
I like to watch the temps on my whole pork loins...and make sure to keep a pink center, you don't wanna over cook these or you'll have shoe leather for a meal. I keep it to medium usually....
Anyway, looks like you did a good one there.....don't you love Sam's club? Everything BIG....for a good price!!
I mean..doesn't everyone need a gallon of mustard in their fridge?
