Steps:
- Using thin knife, trim silver skin from tenderloin. Mix orange juice, grapefruit juice, cilantro, cumin, oregano, garlic, salt, and hot pepper in gallon-sized zip-top plastic bag. Add pork, close, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours. Meanwhile, make Rice and Black Bean Salad.
- Prepare outdoor grill for direct medium-hot grilling. For a gas grill, preheat grill on high. Adjust temperature to 400°F. For a charcoal grill, build fire and let burn until coals are covered with white ash. Spread coals and let burn for 15-20 minutes.
- Lightly oil cooking grate. Remove pork from marinade, drain briefly, but do not scrape off solids. Place on grill and cover grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned and instant-read thermometer inserted in center of pork reads 145°F, about 20-27 minutes. Transfer to carving board and let stand 3-5 minutes. Cut on slight diagonal and serve with rice and black bean salad.
- Rice and Black Bean Salad:
- To make salad, bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add rice and cook (like pasta) until tender, about 16 minutes. Drain in wire sieve, rinse under cold water, and let cool.
- In medium bowl, whisk orange zest and 2 tablespoons orange juice, 1 tablespoon vinegar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Whisk in oil. Add cooled rice, black beans, scallions and cilantro, and mix. Let stand at room temperature for up to 4 hours. (If refrigerated, let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving, or rice will be hard.)
CUBAN DRY RUB FOR BOSTON BUTT OR ROAST
Ok I was trying find a way to cook a boston butt that DIDN'T involve barbecue sauce. It's too typical and I don't even like the stuff. So I found this and tweaked it a bit to suit me. Stay literal and use as a "dry" rub or you can use several bases. I prefer yellow mustard because it adds a little extra punch of flavor, but olive oil is good too, or yes even barbecue sauce (if you're into that kind of thing...haha). This is great for any kind of roast as well or if you really want to go cuban, season a flank steak and throw some chimichurri on it. Yum. ;) This is good for about 8-10 lbs.

Steps:
- Rinse, dry, and remove as much fat as is reasonable from boston butt, roast, or whatever meat of choice.
- *optional* Cover meat with your base of choice. If using olive oil you'll need about 3 tablespoons and if using mustard or barbecue sauce you'll need around a half a cup.
- Generously coat meat with rub. Don't be stingy! In this case more is more :).
- Using your hands, mix the rub and base together and make sure you get all that flavor into every crevice.
- Cook using your favorite method. An oven preheated to 325º for several hours (depends on lbs) or a crock pot on low overnight are my favorites.

CUBAN PORK CHOPS WITH MOJO
Steps:
- In a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag, combine 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup lime juice, and vinegar. Add pork and let it sit and marinate for about 1 hour in refrigerator.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine all dried spices. Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and rub with the dry spice mixture.
- Heat oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Place the pork chops in the pan and sear on 1 side until brown. Flip over and turn the heat down to medium-low. Add onion and saute for 2 minutes. Then add the garlic and continue to cook until garlic begins to brown. Pour in the remaining 1/4 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup lime juice, and white wine. Simmer until the liquid is slightly reduced and begins to thicken. The chops should be cooked through.
- Remove the chops from pan and put on a warm plate. Continue to reduce juices in pan by half. Pour over the chops and serve immediately.
- Garnish with watercress, tomatoes and avocado.
SMOKED CUBAN (CUBANO) PORK
You can't have a really good Cubano sandwich without a good slow-smoked pork butt. Nothin' like a good smoked butt. That's what I always say. This is a classic way to smoke a pork butt for use in a Cubano sandwich. And low and slow is definitely the way to go... First we're going to marinade the pork for 24 hours, and...

Steps:
- 1. Gather your ingredients
- 2. Add all the marinade ingredients to a large bowl and stir until completely dissolved.
- 3. Use a sharp knife to cut a crosshatch pattern into the fat cap, and the bottom of the pork.
- 4. Chef's Note: This will help the marinade to penetrate into the pork.
- 5. Add the pork and the marinade to a large Ziploc bag, or non-reactive bowl.
- 6. Chef's Note: Because of the size of these pork butts, I'm using turkey-basting bags that I got from Williams-Sonoma.
- 7. Place in the fridge for 12, and up to 24 hours.
- 8. Chef's Note: If you're like me, and you like to peek into the fridge every now and then... Well, while you're in there, give the bag a big old squeeze or two.
- 9. Chef's Tip: Ziploc bags have been known to spring a leak. To keep this from becoming a problem, place the bag in a bowl, or on a large plate.
- 10. After 24 hours remove the pork from the marinade, and save about two cups.
- 11. Place the marinade into a small saucepan, and allow it to simmer for about 20 minutes, then remove and reserve.
- 12. Preheat your smoker to 225f (107c).
- 13. Thoroughly coat the pork with the dry rub... Rub it in good.
- 14. Chef's Note: My dry rub consists of equal amounts of black pepper, cumin, paprika, onion powder, salt, and then a pinch or two of cayenne pepper.
- 15. Add the pork butt to the smoker, along with two bricks.
- 16. Chef's Note: The bricks are optional, but I'll explain that later.
- 17. Allow the pork butt to smoke until reaching an internal temperature of 200f (94c).
- 18. Chef's Note: Once an hour, for the first 6 hours, open the smoker, and mop the pork butt with the reserved marinade.
- 19. Chef's Note: Depending on your cut of meat, it could take 12 hours to reach the magic number. But don't hasten the process by raising the heat... have patience.
- 20. Optional Step: Remove the pork butt from the smoker, wrap in foil, then place into a beverage cooler, and place some tea towels around it, plus the two hot bricks. Let it sit for two hours. What this does is finish up the melting of the collagen, and makes this pork melt in your mouth.
- 21. Chef's Tip: I made my own box out of Styrofoam, but a typical Coleman cooler will work just fine.
- 22. Remove from the cooler, and shred. If the meat is a bit dry, add a small amount of the reserved marinade.
- 23. Chef's Note: I tried several ways to cut the meat for a Cubano sandwich; however, shredded is the way to go.
- 24. There you go... the perfect Cuban smoked pork. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

"You can serve it Cuban-style with black beans and rice, or make a traditional Cuban sandwich of pork, ham, Swiss cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, mustard, mayonnaise and dill pickle." -Virginia Cronk, Little Torch Key, Florida
