Calories: 207kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lb sirloin tip pork roast
- 3 oz bacon thick sliced we used pepper bacon. 3 slices
- 1 ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 teaspoon Kosher salt Add more if you like
- 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium -- 350 ℉.
- Combine all the spices in a small bowl. Add the olive oil and whisk to combine. Allow the mixture to combine and release the flavors. It will thicken as it sits and become like a paste.
- Oil spray the small baking pan and then place the wire rack over it.
- Rinse the roast and pat it dry. Using the butcher's twine tie the roast into an even oblong roll.
- Evenly space and wrap the bacon slices around the roast and secure with tooth picks.
- Place the roast on the wire rack and slather the spicy herb paste over the entire pork roll.
- Roast the pork in the preheated grill until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 145℉.
- Loosely tent the roast with aluminum foil for 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
To make in oven: Preheat the oven to 350℉ and follow the same directions. A meat thermometer is your friend - no more guessing.
The pork roast will take less time to cook if it has a chance to rest a room temperature before gilling or roasting in the oven.
Success Tips:
- Rub the pork loin with a mixture of herbs and spices.
- Wrap the roast in bacon for additional flavor and moisture.
- Tie the roast for uniformity in cooking.
- Slow grilling pays off with richly flavorful and tender meat.
- Remove pork from grill when it reaches an internal temperature of 145℉.
- Rest the meat for 15 minutes to ensure juices spread evenly throughout.
