The Freshman Cook: Grilled Pork Loin / #FromOurDinnerTable

One of my favorite ways to cook in the summer, and occasionally in the winter, is on the grill. Even with the excessive heat, I love to BBQ several times a week. The  aroma of the food on the grill is both comforting and enticing. So, I am excited to be participating with a group of food bloggers to showcase foods that are great for grilling!

Today I made a simple Southwestern Grilled Pork Loin. It is rubbed with a couple spices and a store bought marinade, placed on the grill, and let the grill do it’s job! You are going to love it!

Grilled Southwestern Pork Loin Sandwiches

(makes approx 7-8 sandwiches)

(printable recipe at end of page)

4 Pork Tenderloins (approx, 2 lbs each)

Black Pepper-sprinkled liberally 

1 tablespoon Garlic Powder

1/4 cup Carne Asada Marinade

Frozen Corn Niblets

Onion Slices

Buns

Preheat the grill on medium high. Place the pork loins in a bowl. Sprinkle them with garlic powder, black pepper, and marinade. Rub the mix on the pork until they are covered.

Wrap each piece of pork in aluminum foil. Place on the grill. I cooked the pork at 350 degrees, for 7 minutes with the foil left on the pork.


I added a small pouch of frozen corn and some onion slices to the grill. I love onions on almost everything, and I think they always improve the flavor of pork. Drop a medium slice of butter on top.

Close the packet up and add the pouch of corn to the grill. Bring the internal temperature of the pork up to 140 degrees. 

Once the temperature gets to 140 degrees, remove the foil and place the loins back on the grill and continue to cook until they reach 145 degrees.


Remove pork from the grill. You want your pork to be juicy and tender. Let the pork rest on a cutting board or plate for about 15 minutes. The residual heat will continue to cook the loin, helping the juices to settle and creating an amazing, incredible flavor. Slice the pork into thin slices for your sandwiches. 
Drizzle some marinade over the pork slices, and add some onions from your veggie pack. Enjoy this incredibly tasty pork tenderloin sandwich!
