Spice Rubbed Roast Pork Loin Food

PORK ROAST WITH THE WORLD'S BEST RUB

Steps:

• Mix brown sugar, pepper, salt, garlic powder, mustard powder, ground ginger, onion powder, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, cumin, paprika, and thyme in a bowl. Rub spice mixture over pork loin and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Place pork on a 9x13-inch baking dish and refrigerate for 4 hours to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from pork and discard; return pork to baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Cover pork loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

SPICE-RUBBED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Put the pork on the prepared baking sheet, brush with the peanut oil and rub all over with the five-spice powder. Sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper. Broil, flipping once, until golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers about 145 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the meat to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, ginger, mirin, soy sauce and lime juice in a small bowl. Whisk in the sesame oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the pork, drizzle with the vinaigrette and serve with the rice and broccoli.

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.

ROASTED SALT-AND SPICE-PACKED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 250°F. Sprinkle pork roast all over with 1 teaspoon coarse salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and fennel seeds, patting to adhere. Heat olive oil in heavy large roasting pan over medium-high heat. Place pork, fat side down, in pan. Cook until brown on all sides and on ends, holding pork upright with tongs when necessary, about 12 minutes. Transfer pork to baking sheet and cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• Combine 8 cups coarse salt, 2/3 cup black pepper, allspice, and juniper berries in same roasting pan. Stir to blend. Add 1 cup water and stir to moisten. Push 2/3 to 3/4 of salt mixture to 1 side of pan, spreading remaining salt in long wide strip (about size of roast) as base for pork. Place pork, bone side down, on salt base. Pack remaining salt over entire roast, enclosing completely.
• Roast pork in salt crust until instantread thermometer inserted straight down into pork from top center registers 165°F, about 2 1/2 hours.
• Transfer roasting pan to work surface. Let pork rest 10 to 20 minutes. Remove all salt from around pork. Transfer pork to cutting board, brushing off any remaining salt. Position roast so that bones are vertical. Cut between bones and meat to remove bone slab in 1 piece.
• Place bone slab on platter. Arrange roast atop bones in original position. Carve roast and serve.
• Sold in the spice aisle of most supermarkets.
• What to drink:
• With the pork, pour a Côtes du Rhône. We like the Domaine Rouge-Bleu 2007 "Mistral" (France, $18). Its blackberry and earthy flavors and anise notes complement the meat deliciously.

MY FAVORITE NEARLY NON-FAT SPICE RUBBED PORK LOIN ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (important for tender roast).
• Pat pork roast dry with paper towel.
• In small bowl stir together all spices (see note below regarding peppercorns) with the parmesan cheese to make the "rub".
• **To crack the black peppercorns put whole peppercorns into a double-bagged zip lock type bag and beat with meat pounder, the bottom of a heavy sauté pan or roll with rolling pin until most of the peppercorns are at least cracked in half (will chip if you do on tile countertop) This seems like a LOT of pepper, but believe me it's the perfect amount. (If you use ground pepper you will not get much pepper flavor, and it will be incredibly hotter. You will need to adjust pepper to about 1 tsp).
• Rub herb mixture over entire roast for about 1 minute. You should have LOTS of herb mixture left over. The roast will have a very thick coating.
• Pool 1T of olive oil in bottom of the smallest, shallow baking dish that the roast will fit into. Place the roast fat side up over the olive oil (if you have fat on it). Put some of the extra herb rub underneath the roast and pile the remaining herb mixture on top of the roast.
• Pour 1/2 cup of water in bottom of pan to keep the drippings from burning.
• Put in oven and bake uncovered for approximately 1 hour until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
• **PLEASE NOTE After about 30 minutes of baking the water will have evaporated and you should have some nice golden bits. You will have to add enough water to cover the bottom 1/4 inch of the roast itself at that point no more, no less. Watch it carefully and do not let the drippings burn. By the end of cooking it should have reduced to about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of liquid.
• Once internal temperature reads 145-150°F immediately remove the roast from the oven and cover the pan with foil for a minimum of 15 minutes before slicing. **Side Note: The key to a tender roast is to use a meat thermometer and follow up with the tenting method. This allows the internal temperature of the roast to raise another 10 degrees after it comes out of the oven so that the meat gets completely cooked to a safe temperature, and is so moist and juicy. I learned this from watching America's Test Kitchen and they are SO right on about that.
• If you would like to use the drippings for a sauce, STRAIN out all the herbs first. Then add about a teaspoon of cornstarch to the remaining liquid and heat until it thickens a bit. I wouldn't recommend reducing it as it's a bit salty. I added about 1/4 cup of MonteVina pinot grigio wine as well to thin it out a bit and it was so good!
• Drink the rest of the wine with the meal!
