Old South Coca Cola Pork Loin Recipes

Steps:

• To make basting mixture, pour Coca Cola in a saucepan with chopped onions and peppers, and 1 tablespoon of Montreal Chicken Seasoning.
• Bring your mixture to a boil. Stir gently while boiling for about 2 minutes.
• Cover and simmer your basting mixture for about 30 minutes until it gets a bit syrupy.
• When your basting mixture is ready, wash your pork loin, then sprinkle it with Montreal Chicken Seasoning, rubbing it on all sides.
• Set your oven at 400 degrees. Layer the bottom of your roasting pan with tin foil to protect your pan's surface.
• Place your pork loin on a rack over the tin foil in your roasting pan
• Using a large stirring spoon, carefully pour some of your basting mixture with onions and peppers over your pork loin.
• Allow your basting mixture to continue to simmer while basting your pork loin about every 15 minutes.
• Roast your pork loin for about 75 minutes or until cooked to 160 degrees internally (use a meat thermometer to measure).
• When done, remove your pork loin from the oven, place on a serving dish, and pour the remainder of your basting mixture over it.
• Serve with vegetables of your choice. Try to be humble as your guests compliment you on the outstanding savory and juicy flavor of your pork loin.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients except for the meat, to form a marinade. Set the pork roast in a plastic bag with a zip-type seal, pour in the marinade and seal the bag. Set the plastic bag in a serving bowl large enough to steady the roast and keep the marinade ingredients from spreading away from the roast. Let stand for 24 hours or overnight in the refrigerator, patting and turning the bag every few hours to ensure the meat marinates evenly. This helps the roast absorb the marinating liquids and creates a tender, juicy and flavorful roast. Remove roast from marinade and discard the marinade. Place roast, fat side up, on rack in roasting pan. Insert roast meat thermometer so the bulb is centered in the thickest part. Do not add water. Do not cover. Roast in a slow 325 degree preheated oven until the thermometer registers to 175 degrees. Allow 30 to 40 minutes per pound for roasting, so for a 5 pound loin roast, you would be roasting for about 2-1/2 to 3 hours. During last 1/2 hour of cooking time, brush on the glaze. If you prefer, you can just as easily cook on the grill or in the smoker. Remove from the oven and out of the pan onto a platter; cover with foil tent to seal steam and rest the meat 15 minutes before slicing and this results in a much juicier roast. NOTE: Alternatively, you can slow-roast. Instead of roasting at 325, use a slow oven at 250 - 275 degrees, and allow almost twice as long. The meat will be even more tender. Use your meat thermometer or whatever means you like to achieve desired doneness. Coca-Cola Sauce 1 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard 2 tablespoons butter 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar 2/3 cup Coca-Cola Sea salt and fresh ground pepper Mix together all ingredients in sauce pan; simmer and stir to thicken. Brush or spoon glaze on meat frequently during cooking. You can also serve any remaining sauce with the sliced pork if you like.
