Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 lbs Pork loin (boneless)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 2 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tsp Kosher salt
- 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your grill to 275°F (135°C), setting up for indirect heat cooking. If using a charcoal grill, arrange the coals to one side; for a gas grill, turn on only one or two burners depending on your model.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, kosher salt, and chopped rosemary to create a dry rub.
Drizzle the pork loin with olive oil, rubbing it evenly over the surface. Then season the pork generously with the dry rub, ensuring all sides are coated.
In a separate small bowl, combine the honey and Dijon mustard to create a glaze. Set this aside for later use.
Place the pork loin on the cool (indirect heat) side of the grill, fat-side up, and close the lid. Allow the pork to cook low and slow, maintaining a consistent grill temperature of 275°F (135°C).
After 1 hour of cooking, check the internal temperature of the pork loin using a meat thermometer. The goal is to reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Depending on the thickness of your pork loin, this may take up to 2 to 2.5 hours total.
Once the pork reaches an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C), brush the honey-Dijon glaze all over the surface of the meat. Close the lid and continue cooking until the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork loin from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This resting period ensures the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in maximum tenderness.
Slice the pork loin into 1/4-inch thick slices and serve warm. Pair with grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or your favorite BBQ sides.
