Big D’s Q – Pork Loin In A Smoke Bath
Story
Had a little fun today training my daughter on trimming techniques and prepping pork loin.
We grabbed a 5lb premium pork loin. Trim off the silver gristle, the other muscles that were still attached, and cut off the white fat cap. The next steps are simple:
Ingredients:
- 5lb Premium Pork Tenderloin
- Olive Oil
- 2 Tbsp Hurricane Rib Rub
- 1 Tbsp Game On Seasoning
Equipment Needed
- Smoker or Oven
Instructions:
1. Score the top of the loin into diamond shapes on top. Starting from the top, take a sharp knife and cut diagonal lines left to right about 3/4 of an inch apart. On the other side of the loin, start at the top and cut lines diagonally right to left. Cuts should be between 1/4- 3/4 inch deep.
2. Rub olive oil over the entire loin, including down in the cuts.
3. Mix together 2 parts Hurricane Rib Rub to 1 part Game On seasoning. Sprinkle on all sides of loin. Be sure to get in the cracks of the diamond cuts.
4. Let set for 10-15 minutes to let seasoning “sweat in” the meat.
5. Place directly on the middle rack of your smoker. Temperature should be 225 degrees.
6. Cook to internal temperature of 138-140 degrees. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
7. Remove from smoker and place on tray. Sprinkle lightly with rub mixture (#3 above) and lightly brush on BBQ sauce.
Tips and Tricks
When you slice the loin, juice will squeeze out of meat. Enjoy!
