This is another one of my experimental yet successful creations. DH, the guinea pig, heartily approved. The pork loin turns out tender and juicy with many layers of flavor: smokiness from the grill, tanginess from the lime juice, nuttiness/saltiness from the soy sauce and a little heat from the ginger and red pepper flakes.

Ingredients

2 serv.
  • pork loin1 1⁄2 lbs
  • lime juice1⁄4 cup
  • olive oil1⁄4 cup
  • soy sauce, low-sodium2 tablespoons
  • garlic clove, minced1
  • ginger, freshly grated2 tablespoons
  • red pepper flakes1⁄4 teaspoon
  • black pepper, freshly ground1⁄4 teaspoon

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat gas grill to medium heat.

  2. 2

    Into a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag, place pork loin first and then remaining ingredients. Seal bag, gently squeezing as much air out as possible. With your hands, toss and squeeze the bag until the pork loin is well-coated. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerated for NO MORE THAN two hours. The lime juice tenderizes the meat so well that if marinated any longer, it could cause the meat to break down too much.

  3. 3

    Grill pork loin for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until juices run clear when thickest part is pricked with a meat fork.

  4. 4

    Remove meat from grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Slice on the bias and serve.
