Spicy Lime Ginger Pork Loin
How the heck do you people think of names for dishes? I have resorted to basically just throwing the majority of ingredients into the title from here on out. Apparently I lack massive amounts of creativity.
This marinade worked really well with pork loin. Even though it has a lot of powerful ingredients behind it the loin is a dense piece of meat that is hard to overpower.
For this recipe you will need:
- 1 pork loin 2-3 lbs in size
- 2 jalapenos
- 1 shallot
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 2 inch piece of ginger peeled
- teaspoon of coriander
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- Dash of sesame oil
- TB of canola oil
- TB of soy sauce
- Dash of black pepper
Throw all the ingredients except for the pork loin in your food processor and whiz around till it is combined nicely. Taste and adjust flavors as needed. When you are happy throw the pork loin in with the marinade and let it sit for a couple hours in the fridge.
Once again I can’t stop myself so I had to go with the grill. Seared it over high heat for a couple of minutes a side to get some color on it and then lowered the heat to medium to let it finish cooking (internal temperature of 140 degrees and it took about 30 minutes). Remove it from the grill and let it relax for a good 10 minute so the juices can redistribute.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Wow this looks delicious. I love the combination of flavors - especially all that lime juice.

Forgot to say great post! Looking forward to reading your next post!
We had spring for about 3 days and used the grill twice-now it is a ‘wintery mix’ out today. Sad it will be at least a week until we fire up the Weber again-I have a pork loin in the freezer!
Yeah that’s how I name recipes too! I have to say this marinade sounds amazing, I like every single thing in it.
lime ginger?! delicious!
Looks so tasty.
I gave you an award on my blog.
This AND the chicken look great. Our weather is finally getting nice for grilling.
This looks fantastic! I’m always on the lookout for new ways to prepare pork.
Hehe I am the same when it comes to giving a recipe a name! This sounds delicious though and hey people can’t say that they don’t know what is in it!
