Title: pork loin; bored and stroked
Post by: boxofrain on July 31, 2010, 06:07:53 PM
How Y'all are!
Since my last bradley adventure turned out so well ( 19+# turkey).
In my world of smoking and grilling "I have done so much, with so little, for so long...I now attempt the impossible, with absolutely nothing".
That was before my OSB, now I have the tools to go beyond and am excited about it.....smoked food every week!
This time I am doing a "bored and stroked" pork loin.
I made a boring tool out of 1/2" copper pipe, one piece 16" long, another 4" long for the handle, and one copper 1/2" T.   
Bored the center out of a 1/2 thawed pork loin and have in basic brine of
1/4 cp salt
1/2 cp sugar
1/4 cp vinegar
to 1Qt of water
chopped cilantro and some lime juice.
Will leave overnight
I plan on stuffing the inside of the loin with a compound butter and mushrooms, using a couple of pieces of the "bore" and toothpicks to plug the ends. ( the rest of the plug is for dog treats).
In the morning I will rub (stroke) it down with some salt and pepper with lime zest.

Ok, I will try to get some pics this time.
It seems like I get in this "focus groove" on the meat and forget all else for a while. ::)

Sounds like a unique way to prepare a pork loin. I may try this.

well, I got er done. ;D
I have pics, but am unable to see any way here to upload to this site. I am not the most pooter literate person.
any help here would be appreciated.
All in all it turned out fabulous.
My only suggestion if you try this is to use a bigger bore, the 1/2" was good, but I would have liked a bit more stuffing room inside. 3/4" next time.
I can see this working well for large cuts of meat as well, just bore a few holes instead of only one.
