Tequila Lime Pork Roast
Tequila Lime Pork Roast
This is a delicious pork roast marinated in tequila and covered with a tasty rub. It served 10 people.
Ingredients:
3 lbs boneless pork loin
1 cup tequila
2 cups lime juice
½ cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lime zest
1 tablespoon diced oregano
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
Place pork in a large zip-type plastic bag.
Combine tequila, lime juice, oil, garlic and 1/8 teaspoon salt and pour over the pork. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 24-48 hours.
Remove pork from bag and discard marinade. Pat the pork dry.
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl, and pat the mixture over the surface of the pork (top, bottom and sides).
Place the pork on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Roast 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees.
Remove from the oven and let the pork rest 10 minutes (the internal temperature will increase to 160 degrees.)
Slice and serve.
