Roasted Pork Loin with Brussel Sprouts

Fred19Flintstone

It's a simple straight -up cook.  First I took some garlic and chopped it fine.  I added salt, pepper and rosemary and made a paste with it. 

I cut slits into the loin and stuffed the garlic rosemary paste into the slits. 

I tried to wrap the loin in a bacon weave, however I goofed when I listened to my inner cheapskate.  I bought the Spartan Store brand bacon for $3.65 and not the name brand.  I got part of a weave made, but the bacon I bought wouldn't peel off without breaking apart.  So I wrapped it as best as I could and tried it up with string.

Onto the egg it goes 350 degrees indirect.  First the brussel sprouts down low. 

And now the loin. 

I took the sprouts off earlier and kept them warm in the large box in the kitchen.  The loin is at 138 here so I pulled it.

After resting, the juices over flows the cutting board. 

Here's the money shot.

It was delicious!  Thank you for looking.

Great looking meal! I always do my sprouts direct; we like a little char on them

That looks awesome! The sprouts done in bacon/pork drippings are making me drool.

Thanks! I didn't want to risk the bacon drippings catching fire. Do you cook the sprouts in a regular pan or one with holes in it?

I use the square wok pan with the holes... Also use it for my peppers and asparagus. I have a smaller version of it that I just tried earlier this week with the small red potatoes, worked great

Looks good Freddie, even with the cheap bacon. I love me some pork loin.

That looks delicious. Glad you were able to work around the bacon problem.

Looks good buddy! How hot did you cook. I like to do them at 250 or so.
