• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place pork on grill. Cook approximately 1 hour, turning every 15 minutes, to a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SEASONED RUB

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In separate bowl mix dry ingredients such as garlic powder, oregano, cumin, coriander, thyme and salt. Stir mixture with a fork until all the ingredients are well combined and they form a seasoning. This will be used as a rub to ensure the pork is well seasoned throughout. Sprinkle the rub over the tenderloin with a dry hand, then rub the pork with the seasoning over both sides of the meat, pressing gently so the seasoning adheres well to the tenderloin.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and heat. Add the minced garlic and saute, stirring, for 1 minute. Put tenderloin in the pan and cook for about 10 minutes, searing each side using tongs to turn the meat. Transfer meat to a roasting pan and bake for 20 minutes. Slice and serve.

PORK TENDERLOIN MARINATED IN GARLIC, LEMON AND OREGANO WITH GREEK SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the garlic, zest, juice, oregano and oil in blender and blend until smooth. Put the pork in a baking dish, add the marinade and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
• Heat a grill to high. Remove the pork from marinade and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until golden brown on all sides and cooked to medium doneness. Brush the radicchio and tomatoes with oil and grill until lightly charred. Remove the pork from the grill to a cutting board and loosely tent with foil. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Remove the radicchio and tomatoes from grill and set aside to cool slightly.
• Whisk together vinegar, mustard, anchovy paste and a touch of honey in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Add the radicchio, tomatoes, arugula, cucumber, olives, and capers and toss to combine. Transfer to a platter and top with feta and pork slices. Garnish with fresh oregano and serve.

ROASTED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Crush garlic with rosemary, salt and pepper, making a paste. Pierce meat with a sharp knife in several places and press the garlic paste into the openings. Rub the meat with the remaining garlic mixture and olive oil.
• Place pork loin into oven, turning and basting with pan liquids. Cook until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove roast to a platter. Heat the wine in the pan and stir to loosen browned bits of food on the bottom. Serve with pan juices.

PORK ROAST WITH GARLIC AND HERBS

Steps:

• Rinse pork loin and pat dry. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Crush the herbs: I used a mortar and pestle for this, but you can put them in a Ziploc bag and roll with a rolling pin, or crush them with the back of a spoon in a small bowl.
• In a small bowl, mix the herbs, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle the pork with a little salt and place fat side up on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Using a small sharp knife, make incisions all over the top of the roast, about 1 inch deep. Using your finger, press a little of the herb mixture into each hole, leaving some for the outside.
• Rub the remaining herb mixture all over the outside of the pork loin. Cook at 350 for 20 minutes per pound, or until internal temp reaches 145 degrees. Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the oil, garlic, thyme, oregano, pepper, and salt.
• Rub the garlic mixture all over the pork.
• Place the pork in a Dutch oven just large enough to hold it snugly, cover with aluminum foil and then the lid and refrigerate overnight, or up to 24 hours.

• Remove the aluminum foil from the Dutch oven, replace the lid and bake for 30 minutes.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 375°FF and bake for 1 hour more, basting twice with the pan juices.
• Uncover, baste again and bake, uncovered, for 20 to 30 minutes more, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 155-165°F.

JUICY OVEN-BAKED PORK CHOPS WITH GARLIC AND HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and place an oven rack in the center. Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season evenly on all sides with the kosher salt (1 teaspoon) and black pepper (1/2 teaspoon).
• Heat an oven-safe skillet on high or medium-high heat, depending on your burners, until very hot. This will take only 30 seconds or so with stainless steel, but up to 5 minutes with cast iron. (to test, you shouldn't be able to hold your hand a couple inches over the skillet's surface for more than a few seconds.)
• Add the oil (2 tablespoons) and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan (or use a spatula to evenly distribute it). Add the pork chops to the skillet and allow to sear, undisturbed, for 2 minutes. While they are searing, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the fresh oregano and thyme (or less than 1/2 teaspoon if using dried), once minced clove of garlic, and half the lemon zest on the top side of the pork chops.
• Turn off the heat on the burner and flip the pork chops. (Tip: they should release easily from the bottom of the skillet- if they don't, they may need more time searing.) With the seared side facing up, sprinkle the remainder of the fresh herbs, minced garlic, and lemon zest on top of the pork chops. Place the lemon wedges in the spaces around the pork chops. Slide skillet onto center oven rack and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until internal temperature is 145 degrees F (cooking time will vary depending on thickness and oven temperature).
• Remove pork chops to a plate or cutting board and allow to rest for 5 minutes (tent with foil if resting for longer than that to keep them warm).

PORK LOIN ROAST WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Take the roast out of the fridge and place the fat side up on a platter or parchment-lined work surface to come to room temperature.
• While the roast is coming to temperature, preheat the oven to 450°F.
• In a small bowl, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, and paprika; mix to combine and set aside.
• When the roast has reached room temperature, score the skin and fat ¼-inch deep in a cross-hatch pattern at 1-inch intervals. This will allow the seasoning flavor to soak in while roasting.
• Generously season the pork with salt and pepper.
• Place your roast into a 5-quart or larger baking dish. Gently rub the herb mixture all over your pork loin. Cover the roast with a sheet of aluminum foil. Roast for an initial 20 minutes.
• In the meantime, prep and slice your carrots, celery, and potatoes, and place them in a bowl; toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• After the initial 20 minutes of roasting, lower the oven temperature to 350°F and remove the pork from the oven.
• Uncover and add the vegetables in the dish around the pork roast. Add an additional 1 tablespoon of olive oil sprinkled on top of the vegetables and pork.
• Continue to roast uncovered at 350°F for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the pork roast registers an internal temp of 145°F and vegetables are tender. Use an instant read meat thermometer to check for doneness.
• Remove from the oven and re-cover with a piece of foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
• Remove pork roast from the baking dish and transfer to a cutting board; slice and serve with the vegetables.
