Spicy Beer-Brined Rotisserie Pork Loin

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

This is a wonderful recipe and one I have made many times on my rotisserie, the brine will force flavor and moisture into the pork resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth tender pork loin, if you are lucky enough to have an Showtime indoor rotisserie then use it for this recipe or if weather permits make it on your outdoor barbecue rotisserie --- plan ahead this needs to marinate for a minimum 8-24 hours (24 hours hours is even better) cooking time is only estimated.

• Total Time: 2 hrs 24 mins
• Prep Time: 24 mins
• Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients:

Yield: 12

• 1 (3 lb) boneless pork loin
• 1 (12 ounce) can beer
• 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
• 4 green onions, very finely chopped or 1 small yellow onion
• 1/3 cup prepared mustard
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 -2 tablespoon chili powder
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
• 1/2-1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

1. Place the pork loin roast in a heavy large plastic ziploc bag.
2. In a bowl whisk together beer, corn syrup, onions, mustard, chili powder, garlic and black pepper.
3. Pour the marinade over the pork.
4. Seal the bag tightly and turn to coat the meat.
5. Place the bag in a large bowl and place in the refrigerator for 8-24 hours.
6. When ready to cook prepare the rotisserie. Remove the roast from the marinade (reserving the marinade for basting) and bring to ALMOST room temperature before cooking (this is important!).
7. Place the pork on the spit then set over heat and baste every 10-15 minutes or the internal temperature reads 155-160°F.
8. Discard any remaining marinade.
9. Remove the roast from the spit and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Very, Very good! I used my Showtime Rotisserie - about 45 minutes for a 4 lb loin...perfect!!

I really didn't care for this. I actually marinated it for 2 days and like Chef #403951 stated it didn't penetrate the meat for me either. It smelled great cooking but it didn't taste as great

[Chef #403951]

The brine didn't penetrate the pork loin but the outside of it was tasty. I put a 3.5 lb pork loin in my George Foreman rotisserie for 75 minutes and the meat was very moist and just slightly pink.
