Instructions

1. Prepare a marinade for your pork loin, if desired. You can use a variety of liquids to serve as the base of the marinade including olive oil, vinegar or even a vinaigrette. Add fresh or dried herbs such as thyme, rosemary and oregano and a few squirts of lemon juice to the marinade for Italian-inspired flavors. Add soy sauce, minced garlic and ginger for an Asian-styled marinade. Marinate for a few hours or up to a full day.

2. Add dry seasonings to a shallow dish and mix to combine. If you don't have time to marinate your pork loin you can add seasonings just prior to cooking. Salt and pepper, garlic salt, onion powder and dried herbs like basil and thyme are great options. Roll your pork loin in the seasonings to completely coat. Make your pork loin savory and sweet by rolling it in brown sugar. Create a barbecue dry rub for your pork loin by combining paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and sugar.

3. Add even more flavor and moisture to your pork loin by injecting it with liquids. Fill a kitchen syringe with apple juice and inject the pork loin in several places to enhance barbecue dry rub preparations. Create a simple butter and garlic sauce for the syringe or kick it up with a spicy hot sauce injection.
