DJ's Pork Loin and Veggie Feast for the Outdoors

Ingredients 0/18

Step 1

Stir the brown sugar, sea salt, paprika, cumin, black pepper, cayenne, garlic powder, and sage together in a small bowl. Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels, then rub the spice mix all over it, making sure it’s completely coated. Pour the olive oil into a large resealable bag, add the pork, seal it up, and let it marinate in the fridge for 24 hours, turning the bag once or twice to spread the flavor evenly.

Step 2

Toss the red potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and onion into a big pot and cover them with water. Add the salt, pepper, and cilantro to the pot. Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat to keep it at a gentle boil for about 25 minutes. Drain the veggies but save the cooking water for later.

Step 3

Heat your grill on high and give the grates a quick oiling. Take the pork out of the bag and sear it on the hot grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, then set it aside. Turn the grill down to medium heat.

Step 4

Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet on the grill and arrange the apple slices on the bottom. Pour in the orange and lemon juice, then set the pork loin on top of the apples. Surround the pork with the drained veggies and pour in the reserved cooking water until it comes about halfway up the sides of the skillet.

Step 5

Let everything cook on the grill for about an hour, and after 30 minutes, spoon some of the cooking liquid over the pork to keep it moist. When it’s done, you’ll have a delicious, juicy meal ready to enjoy outdoors!
