Balsamic Pork Loin Steak w/grilled broccoli

Botch · October 9

Pork was dry-brined overnight, broccoli wet-brined 30 minutes after cutting an "X" in the head, but not all the way thru the stem. I flipped the pork and the veg every two minutes, then brushed the top of the pork with balsamic vinegar. Last time I made this I dipped the whole chop into a dish with balsamic in it, but that used a lot more that went to waste; I also noted that once the pork got hot fat on the surface, the vinegar just slid off mostly. Tomorrow I'll try brining the chop in a bit on a plate, turning once or twice.

Sauce for the broccoli was two pats of butter, two Tbs Bloody Mary mix, and garlic powder, simmered to drive off most of the water.

By not halving the brocs they didn't fall thru the grate, but the core wasn't cooked by the time the leaves were charred; tomorrow I'll remove them from the brine and microwave them for 2 minutes before grilling.

Thanks for looking!

Great looking plate, @botch.

Never have I seen broccoli cosplaying as Brussels sprouts quite so convincingly!!! Maybe your grocer mislabelled the veggies?

thank you @GrateEggspectations - I didn't want to ask what I thought was the obvious question ...

@Botch that is a fantastic looking cook and plate. MiniMax? I can't remember what you have.

A fast delicious looking single meal. Looks great to me!
I particularly appreciate standalone posts that are rich in details about the cook and are (should be) easy to find later for inspiration
