Pork Loin Half Centre and Sirloin

My back has recovered from its muscle pull a week ago thanks for all your well wishes. In fact I shovelled a small path (maybe 3 feet) to our community mailbox yesterday as there was a foot of snow blocking my way.


Pork Sirloin

Pork Loin

It's been awhile since I made Pork Sirloin and Pork Loin.  The Pork Loin half centre and Sirloin goes on sale sometimes for maybe $1.99 per pound.  So an 8 pound roast is very economical.  So you separate the 2 cuts of meat and cook them separately.  Pork Loin is roasted and the Sirloin end is braised.  In fact, I braised the sirloin in my pressure cooker this time for about 15 minutes and it was delicious!  I made a jerk pork loin using this recipe on my blog.

Pork Sirloin Braise Recipe:

4 lbs pork sirloin

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

3 tbs dark soy sauce

1 tsp dried thyme

2 tbs Worcestershire sauce

onion chopped

2 cloves garlic minced

1 tomato chopped

carrots chopped

celery chopped

1 c  port wine

1 bouillon cube dissolved in a bit of water

2 c water to just cover the roast and ingredients

Mix together all ingredients and cook in your pressure cooker for 15 minutes.

Looks yummy! I've noticed the whole pork loins at Sam's are lots cheaper per pound than the chops and other cuts packaged as such. Linda in Kansas

It's great that you're feeling better and that you have so much snow, while we don't have any! What a delicious recipe, I love pork tenderloin!
Hugs, Elke

Good morning, so glad to read you are feeling much better, your pork looks delicious

Jeanie said...

I'm so glad your back is much better, Christine -- and I hope by now it is FULLY recovered. I love pork tenderloin and this one looks like a very good recipe. I don't have a pressure cooker but could probably figure out how to convert it to my regular oven or stove.

Christine said...

Jeanie you could just simmer it covered for an hour and a half instead.

It is a lot of meat but we love meat. You can freeze half for cooking later.

I haven't made a pork loin in a long time either and it looks very tasty. And I'm glad to read that your back is feeling better. My hubby's is still an issue. He has good days and bad days.

Good to know your back is much better Christine and I hope it didn't ache too much shoveling the snow. Your meal looks very yummy.

So pleased that your back is better.
Pork is usually quite reasonable priced here in the UK.
That looks a very tasty recipe you've shared.
Thank you.

All the best Jan
