Ingredients

• 4 lbs Pork loin (boneless)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 2 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Ground black pepper
• 2 tsp Kosher salt
• 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to 275°F (135°C), setting up for indirect heat cooking. If using a charcoal grill, arrange the coals to one side; for a gas grill, turn on only one or two burners depending on your model.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, kosher salt, and chopped rosemary to create a dry rub.

Step 3

Drizzle the pork loin with olive oil, rubbing it evenly over the surface. Then season the pork generously with the dry rub, ensuring all sides are coated.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, combine the honey and Dijon mustard to create a glaze. Set this aside for later use.

Step 5

Place the pork loin on the cool (indirect heat) side of the grill, fat-side up, and close the lid. Allow the pork to cook low and slow, maintaining a consistent grill temperature of 275°F (135°C).

Step 6

After 1 hour of cooking, check the internal temperature of the pork loin using a meat thermometer. The goal is to reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Depending on the thickness of your pork loin, this may take up to 2 to 2.5 hours total.

Step 7

Once the pork reaches an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C), brush the honey-Dijon glaze all over the surface of the meat. Close the lid and continue cooking until the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Remove the pork loin from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This resting period ensures the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in maximum tenderness.

Step 9

Slice the pork loin into 1/4-inch thick slices and serve warm. Pair with grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or your favorite BBQ sides.
