Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork loin (boneless)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme (finely chopped)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup dried cranberries (optional)
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- butcher’s twine
Instructions
Place the pork loin on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, butterfly the pork loin by slicing it lengthwise down the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open it like a book and flatten slightly with a meat mallet.
In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed garlic, parsley, rosemary, thyme, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, cranberries (if using), 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to create the stuffing mixture.
Spread the stuffing evenly over the opened pork loin, leaving about 1 inch of space along the edges.
Roll the pork loin tightly from one side to the other, enclosing the stuffing. Secure the roll with butcher's twine at 1- to 2-inch intervals.
Rub the outside of the rolled pork loin with the remaining olive oil, and season with the remaining salt and black pepper.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F). If using a charcoal grill, set it up for indirect cooking by arranging the coals on one side.
Place the pork loin on the grill over indirect heat. Close the lid and cook for 75-90 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F when measured with a meat thermometer.
Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a tender final product.
Slice the pork loin into 1-inch thick pieces and serve warm. Enjoy your Grilled Stuffed Pork Loin!
