Grilled Cedar Plank Pork Loin Recipes

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.
