Best Grilled Pork With Wine Salt Rub Recipes

GRILLED PORK LOIN WITH WINE-SALT RUB

Steps:

• In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, simmer wine until it is reduced by half, 20 to 30 minutes; adjust heat to low and continue to cook down to 2 tablespoons. Cool completely.
• In a food processor combine salt, thyme leaves, lemon zest and wine reduction. Pulse 2 or 3 times. Add sugar and pulse again until mixture has the consistency of damp sand. If your mixture is moister, spread it evenly on a sheet pan and leave it out on the counter for several hours or overnight.
• Place pork in a baking pan. Spread about 1/2 cup of the salt rub all over the pork (reserve remaining rub for another use; it will keep for a month in the fridge). Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Light the grill for high-heat indirect cooking, piling charcoal on one side of the grill and leaving other side unlighted. (For gas grills, turn on the heat on one side of the grill only.) Spread a piece of foil or place a disposable metal roasting pan underneath grill on the unlighted side to catch any drips. Place pork on the grill over the foil. Cover grill and cook, turning every half hour until meat reaches 140 degrees, from 1 hour to 90 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before carving.

GRILLED DRY-RUBBED PORK

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Cook the bacon in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly browned and crisp, 5 minutes. Add the scallion whites. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and softened, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in 2 cups water, the peas, collard greens, barbecue sauce, mustard and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and the peas are tender, 20 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper; keep warm over low heat.
• Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar, the paprika, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the pork chops all over with the spice mixture.
• Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the pork until marked and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve the peas on the side, topped with the scallion greens.

GRILLED GARLIC-SAGE PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, stir together garlic, sage, oil, salt and pepper. Rub garlic mixture over pork.
• Carefully brush oil on grill rack. Place pork on grill over medium heat. Cover; cook 35 to 40 minutes, turning occasionally, until meat thermometer inserted into center of pork reads 155°. Remove from grill; cover with foil and let stand 5 minutes until thermometer reads 160°F.
• To serve, cut pork across grain into thin slices. Garnish with additional fresh sage leaves if desired.

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BOURBON GLAZE

Steps:

• Trim any excess fat or sinews off the tenderloin and arrange the meat in a baking dish.
• To make the rub, place the rub ingredients in a small bowl and mix well with your fingers.
• Sprinkle this mixture over the pork on all sides, and rub it into the meat.
• Marinate the meat in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
• To make the glaze, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the bourbon and the rest of the glaze ingredients and briskly simmer the mixture over high heat, whisking well, until thick and syrupy, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and add salt and pepper to taste: the mixture should be highly seasoned.
• Pour half the glaze into a small bowl.
• Grill the pork tenderloin over high heat until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side, 12 to 16 minutes in all.
• Internal temperature should be 160 drgrees.
• For the last 5 minutes, baste the tenderloin on all sides with the bourbon glaze in the bowl.
• Transfer the tenderloin to a cutting board and thinly slice on the diagonal.
• Arrange the pork on plates or a platter and spoon the remaining glaze in the saucepan on top.
• Serve at once.

GRILLED PORK WITH WHOLE SPICES AND GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Prepare the pork: Using a mortar and pestle, pound together the thyme, salt, cumin, coriander, fennel, caraway, peppercorns and red-pepper flakes until the spices are well cracked but not ground. (Or do this in a spice grinder, but take care not to grind the spices.) Add garlic, oil and vinegar, and pound into a paste.
• Spread paste all over pork, covering the meat thoroughly and evenly. Place the meat on a rimmed baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap or an overturned rimmed baking sheet, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or up to 48 hours (the longer, the better).
• Prepare the butter for the garlic bread: In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the parsley, basil, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, vinegar and red-pepper flakes, and simmer until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and add more salt if needed. Set aside until ready to grill. If the butter solidifies, place it back on the heat until it liquefies.
• Heat the grill or light the coals. Lay the pork out on the grill so it is as flat as possible. Cover grill and let the meat cook until char marks appear on one side, 7 to 12 minutes. Use tongs and a large spatula to flip the meat. Continue to grill on the other side until cooked to taste, 135 degrees for medium, about 5 to 12 minutes longer. (It will continue to cook as it rests.)
• Transfer meat to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
• While the pork is resting, grill the garlic bread: Place the halved loaves, cut side down, on the grill, and lightly toast on one side, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip bread and drizzle garlic butter over the toasted side. Let the unbuttered sides of the bread toast, another 1 to 2 minutes. Flip bread and grill once more on the buttered side for about 10 to 20 seconds to sear (take care not to let it burn). Transfer bread to a cutting board and slice into pieces.
• Carve pork into slices, and squeeze the lemon or lime wedges over the meat. Serve the pork slices garnished with red-pepper flakes and thyme leaves, with the garlic bread on the side.
