Sweet & Spicy BBQ Pork Roast
Sweet & Spicy BBQ Pork Roast
This Sweet & Spicy BBQ Pork Roast recipe with garlic, balsamic vinegar and chili garlic sauce gives this smoky barbecue classic a new twist. The marinade is used to steep the pork and then it’s transformed into a sweet, spicy sauce to pour over the meat.
Ingredients
FOR THE PORK
- 2.5-3 pounds center-cut pork loin roast (or pork tenderloin)
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
FOR THE MARINADE
- 5 large garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
Directions
1
In a small bowl, combine salt and pepper and rub it over entire pork loin. Allow it to sit for 15 minutes.
2
In a non-reactive bowl, mix together garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, chili garlic sauce and honey.
Hot Tip
A non-reactive bowl is made from plastic, ceramic, glass, stainless steel or anodized aluminum (NOT regular aluminum) for brining or marinating to prevent the container from dissolving, leaching or contaminating food. 3
3
Add pork. Cover and marinate for 2-6 hours, turning occasionally.
4

5
Grill for about 15 minutes over direct heat. Turn and grill for 1 hour over indirect heat until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

Hot Tip
According to Foodsafety.gov, to make the marinade safe after coming into contact with raw meat , pour it into a saucepan and bring to a rolling boil (165°F) to kill food-borne bacteria.
