Herb Crusted Pork Loin (pics)
Thought I would post pics of a cook from yesterday. We had some folks over for dinner, and I did an herb crusted 5 lb pork loin. I mixed EVOO, sugar, cumin, basil, minced fresh rosemary, kosher salt, minced garlic cloves, crushed black pepper, and a few dashes of Dizzy Pig Raising the Steaks until it made a paste. I massaged the paste all over the loin and stabalized the egg at 350 degrees setup for indirect heat with apple smoke. I let her roll until 150 internal and then tented with foil for 15 minutes before serving. This was a HUGE hit. It was unbelievably tender and moist. Pissed I didnt get a pic of the sliced loin, but I thought the guests would think I was even bigger of a freak about the BGE if I started snapping pics of the meat... I will say they were believers when they left!!! Before, during, and right before I pulled it attached.

That looks awesome - how long did it take?
I've done tenderloin, but I'm curious about loin - do you know which is more tender? Would you say it was fork-cuttable? Thanks.

Awesome, I'm going to use this paste for my loin that I took out last night. This will go well with roasted potatoes!Large BGE

Looks great! Any more info on the amount of spices you used for the paste or the cooking time would be great, please?

I would say you could cut it with a fork after it was cut into a serving size with a knife. I just eye balled the ingredients for the paste. Roughly 4 tablespoons of evoo, teaspoon of cumin and thyme, tablespoon or two of kosher salt, tablespoon of minced garlic, tablespoon cracked black pepper,Columbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013
