British Herb-Crusted Grilled Pork Loin

Introduction

This British Herb-Crusted Grilled Pork Loin is perfectly seared on the Arteflame grill, locking in juices with a high-temperature sear and then finished on the flat cooktop for an even, slow cook to bring it to tender perfection.

Ingredients

• 1 (3-4 lb) boneless pork loin
• 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 4 tbsp butter, softened
• Vegetable oil (for lighting the grill)
• Firewood (for grilling)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Grill

1. Pour vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the center of the Arteflame grill.
2. Stack firewood over the soaked napkins.
3. Light the napkins and allow the grill to heat for about 20 minutes until the center grill grate reaches over 1,000°F.

Step 2: Prepare the Herb Crust

1. In a bowl, mix rosemary, thyme, parsley, garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and softened butter.
2. Rub the herb mixture evenly over the pork loin.

Step 3: Sear the Pork Loin

1. Place the pork loin on the center grill grate and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.
2. Once seared, move the pork loin to the flat griddle cooktop to continue cooking.

Step 4: Finish Cooking on the Flat Cooktop

1. Place the pork loin on the medium-heat zone of the flat cooktop.
2. Cook the pork loin for about 30-40 minutes, flipping occasionally to ensure even cooking.
3. Remove the pork loin from the grill when the internal temperature reaches 135°F, as it will continue to cook after being removed.
4. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips

• To keep the pork juicy, let it rest before slicing.
• Use a meat thermometer for precision.
• Don't skip the high-heat sear—it locks in the juices.

Variations

• Spicy Herb Crust: Add 1 tsp red pepper flakes to the herb mixture.
• Garlic Butter Infused: Increase minced garlic to 2 tbsp and mix extra butter into the crust.
• Honey Herb Glaze: Drizzle a honey glaze after searing for a sweet finish.
• Smoky Paprika Kick: Include 1 tsp smoked paprika in the herb mix.
• Mustard and Herb Fusion: Use whole grain mustard instead of Dijon for a tangy crust.

Conclusion

This British Herb-Crusted Grilled Pork Loin is the perfect dish to make on the Arteflame grill. With its high-quality searing capabilities and even-heating griddle, your pork loin will be full of flavor and perfectly cooked.
