Molasses-Glazed Grilled Pork Loin

Leave a cool spot on the grill for cooking the roasts after they are glazed; turn them frequently to avoid burning.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 8 to 10

Ingredients

1 12-ounce jar unsulphured molasses
1/4 cup grainy mustard
2 teaspoons dry mustard
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 boneless pork loin roasts (3 to 4 pounds each)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat a charcoal or gas grill. In a small bowl, whisk together the molasses, grainy mustard, and dry mustard, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

    Step 2

    Tie each pork loin with kitchen twine in four to five places to form a nice, round shape. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Sear until well browned on all sides, 15 to 20 minutes total.

    Step 3

    Brush with the glaze, and cook, turning and basting frequently, 5 minutes. Move to the cooler part of the grill, and close the lid. Continue cooking, basting and turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer registers 160°F, 30 to 40 minutes.

    Step 4

    Transfer the pork to a serving platter, and let rest 10 minutes before carving.
