Pork Loin In A Smoke Bath
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: ~1 hour 30 minutes
6-8 Servings
Best with: Game On Seasoning, Hurricane Rib Rub
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
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.
Rub olive oil over the entire loin, including down in the cuts.
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.
Let set for 10-15 minutes to let seasoning “sweat in” the meat.
Place directly on the middle rack of your smoker. Temperature should be 225 degrees.
Cook to internal temperature of 138-140 degrees. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
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!
