Let's try something new for Christmas .... it'll work out well..
So the missus and I had a purely scrumptious 3.5lb smoke Picanha to ourselves on Christmas eve. Christmsas dy was hosting the kids and brother in law. Typically do bone in rib roast, but knew I'd be beefed out after christmas Eve. So I saw a nice looking stuffed pork loin on here and thought it would be a nice change. Th store has full pork loins on sale for $1.99/lb. quickly grabbed one. got it home and the sumbich weighed 9 lbs. OK, i van halve it and smoke the fat end. all the pictorals i saw it seemed easy. butterfly and beat it thin with a meat cleaver. Could have used about a 4lb tenderizer to get it thin. Got it as thin as i could, sprinkled with smoke paprika, thyme and sage. Th stuffing was warmed cream cheese, shredded asiago, shredded spinach, diced fuji apple, crumbled bacon. spread thick nd even on about a 18x18 flap of meat. Enlisted mama to help with the roll. On he first flap of the roll the F@$ker split 2/3's th length of the meat. shit. still had the other piece of the loin so i figured I could butterfly it and wrap the other roll. I knew if was going to leak like a sieve. After about a whole roll of twine to attempt to tie it tight. lightly sprayed the "roll" with canola a sprinkled butt rub and a little honey powder. capped the end with tin fole put it in a pan and in the smoke at 250 with hickory and apple. Smoke to 145 internal. When done i had a pan full of melted cheese and pig fat. After a rest slicing it was a real charley foxtrot as each slice tried to unroll like a cinnamon bun. it is was it is. drizzled the slices with pan drippings. "here it is, eat it or not"...
Sorry so long winded.... not one of my typical culinary adventures
Never again... I'm not even a fan of pork unless it's ribs are pulled butt.
Carry on.....
