CEDAR PLANK PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Notes: Soak the planks for at least 2 hours in water prior to grilling. If the sides of the Cedar Plank start flaming -- spray the edges only with water (spray only the plank-do not water spray the Pork Chops).
• Combine the salad oil, BOU Cube and Worcestershire sauce. Blend well in a blender for approximately 45 seconds.
• Place the pork chops in a rectangular pan - Pour the BOU flavored oil over the chops & top with bay leaves. Turn the chops over to assure they are totally coated - Marinate 3-4 hours.
• Remove from the marinade. Drain lightly & season both sides liberally with java rub.
• Place seasoned pork chops on the warmed Green Egg Cedar Plank down the center.
• Set the Cedar Plank on the grill over a medium high to high heat. Cook the pork chops to an internal temperature of 130-145˚F. Check temperature at 15 minutes. Serve & enjoy!

CEDAR PLANKED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Immerse cedar plank in a sink or large container of water. Place a heavy object on plank to keep it submerged. Allow plank to soak for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
• To prepare rub, combine paprika, oregano, sage, thyme, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and cayenne pepper. Spread rub over pork. Let stand for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat natural gas barbecue on medium heat for 10 - 15 minutes.
• Remove plank from water and rinse. Place pork on plank.
• Place plank with pork on barbecue grid on natural gas barbecue. With lid down, cook pork over medium heat until a meat thermometer registers 160°F, about 1 1/2 hours. If using a triple burner natural gas barbecue, turn centre burner off for best results. Transfer pork to a platter and cover with foil. Let stand for 15 minutes before carving. Do not reuse cedar plank for cooking.

CEDAR PLANK PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Start with an untreated cedar plank (14x7x1 in). Make sure the plank is untreated. Immerse the plank in water and soak for at least 4 hours. You may have to weigh it down with a can.
• Preheat grill to medium heat. Using a brush, brush one side of the plank with oil. This will help prevent food from sticking to wood. Top the plank with meat, place on center of grill. Close the lid.
• Grill 1 hour or until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat registers 150 degrees F.
• Check back occasionally to ensure plank doesn't flare up.
• You can brush with barbeque sauce during last 20 minutes of grilling time if desired.
• Remove from grill, cover loosely with foil. Let stand 10 minutes until internal temp reaches 160 degrees F. Disgard plank.
