Grilled Pork Loin, No Marinade

Pork loin without a marinade is even easier than kebabs. In this recipe I'll show you how to grill pork loin without marinating it. Pork loin is the cut from the back of the hog that includes not just meat but the ribs, part of the backbone, and some fat. It's good for you, too — it digests easily and contains B vitamins, which are important for a healthy nervous system and metabolism.

    Mix the sauce ingredients in a handy bowl, add the olive oil, and stir well. If you're cooking somewhere other than home — at a summer cottage, like us — pour the sauce into a travel-friendly container, and don't forget a silicone brush for basting the steaks as they cook.

  • Spring is finally here, and plenty of folks, tired of being cooped up in their apartments, have headed out to the countryside. It's a great place to get some work done — and to relax after a hard day of it. We always cap off the first workday with something cooked over the coals. And you can grill more than just kebabs out there: vegetables, sausages, fruit, fish — whatever you like. Usually the meat gets marinated first, but today I want to share a recipe for grilling pork loin with no marinade at all. The meat comes out delicious and incredibly tender.
