I have a 4 pound pork loin roast and am making it this weekend for company…I have the following recipe, do you think it can be tweaked to work with my roast and an indoor oven, not grilled…With what changes…or do you have a better tried and true recipe?
Chipotle Honey Lime Pork Tenderloin (CLBB ctr264) (adapted from Alton Brown recipe)
1 whole pork tenderloin, about 1 pound 1 tsp lime zest 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice 1/4 cup honey 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 chipotle chile pepper in adobo sauce 1 tsp vegetable oil 1 Tbsp fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Place the lime zest, lime juice, honey, salt, and garlic in a small, lidded jar and shake to combine. Pour half of the marinade mixture into a 1-gallon resealable bag, add the chipotle pepper, and move around to combine.
Add the pork tenderloin to the bag and seal, removing as much air as possible and place in a container to catch any leaks. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours, rotating the bag halfway through the time. Place the remaining marinade in a covered container and refrigerate until ready to use.
Light grill and bring to medium-high heat, about 450 degrees. Brush the grill with vegetable oil. Remove the tenderloin from the bag and place in the center of grate. Discard bag with marinade. Cover and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 155 degrees F.
Remove the tenderloin from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and slice. Drizzle with reserved marinade. Garnish with cilantro and serve with reserved marinade on the side.

Definitely! Since your roast is 4 pounds, you'll need to increase the marinade ingredients. I'd double it or maybe triple it. That should be enough. If you pat the roast dry when you take it out of the marinade, you can sear it before roasting it, but you don't have to. I would roast it at a lower temp than the recipe calls for. Pork tenderloin can take higher heat than pork loin. I'd do either 350F. It should take about 25 mins per pound at 350F, so plan on a little more than 1.5 hours. I pull pork at 140-145F and let it rest before slicing.
I've used this marinade and it is delicious.

I don't know much about meat but know that pork tenderloin is not the same as pork loin. We usually grill pork tenderloin, but I have tweaked recipes to use the oven when grilling is not optimal.

Empty Nest Mom,
This sounds exceptionally wonderful.
I am going to prepare this at the weekend .. Need to purchase some of the ingredients and go to my butcher.
Good luck with it and let us know how it turns out !

However, I am definitely going to try the New Version to give it a shot ..
A classic I have made many times during the holidays is:
I also marinate with herbs & spices and Port or Vino Santo or Moscatel ..
1 small pork tenderlion roast 1 tsp. dried fennel seeds 1 / 2 tsp.dried coriander 1 /2 tsp. black and white peppercorns crushed finely 2 onions or shallots of choice or leek 1 large carrot sliced finely 1 stalk of celery sliced finely 1 cup of Vino Santo, Port or Muscatel 4 bay leaves 1 tablesp butter Evoo 1 tsp salt to taste 1 sprig rosemary And 1 sprig fresh sage or dried if unavailable 2 cups of beef stock or veal stock

Margauxspain, will try that recipe in the future. Guests do not use alcohol so I try to avoid in cooking for them…
Thanks Patti and Wallycat for the input, I will triple marinade and then roast on lower heat…can’t wait to try it. Think I will serve with combo of roasted sweet and white potatoes with either green beans or Brussel sprouts…

I made this as Patti suggested…marinated for almost 24 hours…it was tender and juicy but I thought it lacked the flavor I expected! Of course, I did forget to keep some of the marinade to use as sauce…and that was really good and probably would have made a difference…. I will try this again in the future with a pork tenderloin and keep some marinade separate to drizzle over cooked meat… Thanks again everyone….
