Smoked Pork Loin Food

APPLE SMOKED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• This recipe begins with a light dry rub seasoning, continues with some apple wood smoke flavor, and ends with a tasty apple-cinnamon sauce.
• Begin by removing all of the membrane (silver skin) and excess fat from the outside of the pork loin. Rub the loin with olive oil, then lightly season it with a bit of this dry rub mixture.
• Smoke the loin (using apple wood) at 225 degrees Fahrenheit for two to three hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees. Remove the smoked pork loin to a platter, covering lightly with foil and a kitchen towel. Let it rest for fifteen minutes before serving with the apple cinnamon sauce.
• Apple Cinnamon Sauce.
• Finely chop two large or three medium sweet apples (Fuji or Gala are great varieties for this) and place in a saucepan. Add one tablespoon sugar, one-half teaspoon each of cinnamon, paprika, salt and white pepper, and two tablespoons rice wine vinegar. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat, then lower to a simmer. Cook gently until the apples are tender.
• Slice the smoked pork loin and top with a spoonful of the sauce.

SPICED AND SMOKED PORK LOIN RECIPE

Steps:

• Rinse the pork loin in cool water and pat dry with paper towels to remove all moisture. Trim any silver skin and excess fat. Do leave a 1/4″ of fat cap on for moisture and flavor. Place the loin on a sheet pan.
• Combine the spices and herbs with the oil in a small bowl. Rub this mixture all over the loin and allow it to rest for at room temperature for up to 60 minutes. This is a good time to make your slaw so it too can rest.
• Preheat your electric smoker to 225˚F.
• Place 50% apple juice and 50% water in the bowl at the base of your smoker. Add the wood chips to the side tray.
• Place the pork loin on the middle rack inside the smoker, fat side up, and insert the probe thermometer. Close the door and set the timer for 3 hours. You are looking for an internal temperature of 155˚F. Begin checking the meat at 2 hours.
• Check the smoke every 45 minutes and add wood chips if you don't see any smoke. Add water and apple juice as needed.
• When the pork is smoked to the correct temperature, remove it to a cutting board and tent with aluminum foil. Allow the meat to rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing to serve. Slice thinly for sandwiches and slice into 1/2" thick pieces for an entrée portion. Enjoy with slaw and maybe some roasted potatoes.

SMOKED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F.
• Pat the pork loin roast dry with a paper towel. Trim any excess fat on the top that is over 1/4 inch thick. Use a really sharp knife to score through the fat cap - cut down about 1/4 of an inch in a diagonal pattern.
• Drizzle the pork loin on all sides with olive oil, and rub with your hands to ensure it's evenly coated. Sprinkle on all sides with Hey Grill Hey Sweet Rub. You can be a bit aggressive with the sweet rub, so ensure it is nice and coated.
• Place the pork loin directly on the grill grates of your smoker. Close the lid and smoke for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. It can take up to 3 hours to fully cook this pork depending on the thickness of the meat. Cook the pork until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.
• Remove the roast from the smoker. Tent with foil. Allow to rest for 10-15 minutes, then slice against the grain and serve.

• Rub the meat all over with the spice mixture.
• Set the loin aside and allow it to come to room temperature for approximately 40 minutes.
• Fill the hopper of the Traeger grill with enough wood pellets to last up to 3 hours.
• Turn the smoker on with the top open until a flame is visible, approximately 5 minutes.
• Close the top of the grill and set the temperature to 225˚F.
• Preheat the grill for approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
• Place the seasoned pork loin, fat side facing up, on the grill rack inside the smoker.
• Insert the probe thermometer into the thickest end of the pork.
• Close the top and set a timer for 2 hours.
• Check the temperature of the meat at 2 hours.
• You are looking for an internal temperature of 145˚F.
• Continue smoking until the desired temperature is achieved, checking every 15 to 30 minutes.
• When the pork is at the desired temperature, remove it to a clean cutting board and cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
• Allow the meat to rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
• Slice the loin thinly and place on a platter for serving.

SMOKED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Make the dry rub by mixing the brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper with the mustard and onion powders.
• Combine the apple cider vinegar and whiskey in a small glass.
• Trim off any excess fat or silver skin. Using the sharp end of a knife, poke a series of small holes in the outside of the roast.
• Rub the roast down with the apple cider vinegar and whiskey mixture.
• Coat the roast with the spice rub, making sure to get it everywhere.
• Smoke the pork loin roast for 2 ½ to 3 hours at 225℉ (107℃).
• The roast should smoke until the internal temperature in the thickest part of the roast reaches 145℉ (63℃).8
• Rest the roast covered with foil for 15 minutes before slicing it thin.

SMOKED STUFFED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
• Meanwhile, preheat a smoker, according to manufacturer's instructions, until temperature is a steady 220 degrees F (104 degrees F).
• Remove silver skin and fat from pork loin, then slice into the center and "unroll" it until flat. Season both sides with pork rub. Spread one side with cream cheese, then layer jalapenos and cooked sausage evenly over top. Carefully roll loin up into a fairly tight log and secure with cooking twine.
• Smoke in the preheated smoker until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 140 to 145 degrees F (60 to 63 degrees C), about 2 hours. Remove loin and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Let rest for at least 20 minutes before serving.

SMOKED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Combine salt, brown sugar, and water in a marinating container or gallon sized ziplock bag, and mix well.
• Place the pork tenderloin into the water, salt, and brown sugar mixture. Seal container, and let sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours (if using a marinating container, flip the tenderloin after 12 hours). Wait until the tenderloin has fully marinated before continuing.
• Heat grill. Charcoal grills are best for this recipe (and they're all I use). I used about a pound of Kingsford Mesquite Charcoal Briquettes. Place a pile of charcoal on one side of the grill, and let it heat there. This recipe relies on indirect heat. Alternatively, if you have a gas grill, you can use a smoker box with mesquite chips (prepare according to the directions on the package) - just light the side of the grill that you will not be cooking on. Make sure all flames are out on the briquettes, and the coals are glowing brightly. The cooking temperature should be about 200 degrees.
• Coat pork tenderloin with a light coating of mustard.
• Sprinkle dry rub mixture liberally onto the pork tenderloin, and pat it down. Make sure the entire tenderloin is coated.
• Place tenderloin onto the cool side of the grill (the side that is not lit / does not have direct heat). Indirect heat is the key.
• Close the vent on top of the grill and allow the pork tenderloin to smoke/cook for about an hour to an hour and a half. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the pork tenderloin and grill temperatures. The above time is just an average. Slower cooking yields a more tender and more flavorful end result.
• Once the tenderloin is finished cooking (to an internal temperature of about 170 degrees F.), remove from grill and slice into roughly 1/4" to 1/2" slices and serve.

SMOKED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Remove your pork tenderloins from the package and use a sharp knife to remove any excess fat and silver skin.
• Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F.
• Season the tenderloins on all sides with the sweet rub. Place the tenderloins on the grill, close the lid, and smoke until the internal temperature of the tenderloins reaches 135 degrees F.
• Baste on all sides with BBQ Sauce. I like to use my Whiskey Peach BBQ Sauce, but you are welcome to use whatever is your favorite. Cook until the internal temperature of the tenderloin reaches 145 degrees F and the sauce tightens up.
• Remove the pork tenderloin from the grill. Slice against the grain in 1/2 inch medallions. Serve immediately.
