Pork Loin
Method
Preparation of Pork Loin
- 1
Marinate the Pork Loin
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Rub this mixture over the pork loin, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.

Grill the Pork Loin
Remove the pork loin from the marinade and place it on the preheated grill. Grill for about 15-20 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

Rest the Pork Loin
Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more tender bite.

Prepare the Buns
While the pork is resting, slice the buns in half and lightly toast them on the grill for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Build the Sandwich
