Boneless pork loin marinated in tequila and covered with a flavorful rub. Adapted from dLife. The recipe calls for fresh lime juice, but I used bottled (not the sweetened type) since 2 cups of lime juice is about 32 limes and that is too expensive and time consuming for a marinade :) Use 1 fresh lime for the zest and add juice from that lime to the bottled juice. Prep time includes 24 hour marinating time. Ingredients:
3 lbs boneless pork loin |
1 cup tequila |
2 cups lime juice |
1/2 cup olive oil |
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon lime zest, grated |
1 tablespoon dried oregano |
1 tablespoon ground black pepper |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice |
Directions:
1. Place pork in a large zip-type plastic bag.
2. Combine tequila, lime juice, oil, garlic and 1/8 tsp salt in bowl and por over pork in bag. Seal and refrigerate 24-48 hours.
3. Remove pork from bag and discard marinade. Pat pork dry.
4. Heat oven to 350°F.
5. Mix remaining ingredients in bowl and pat mixture over all surfaces of pork.
6. Place pork on a rack in shallow roasting pan. Roast 1-1 1/2 hours until internal temperature reaches 150°F
7. Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes (internal temperature will rise to around 160F).
8. Slice and serve.
9. NOTE: This could probably be done on a grill, too, but cook time might need adjusting.
