Pork Roast a la Hoover's Sauce
Options
Misippi Egger
Posts: 5,095
Picked up a boneless pork roast today at The Fresh Market. The butcher said it was a loin, just packaged up in a net to make it look better. :huh:
How to cook it?????
I simmered some olive oil with 8-10 sliced large garlic cloves. I removed the cloves, minced and reserved them. I mixed the garlic-infused oil with equal parts of Hoover's Sauce (a local, secret recipe teriyaki-type sauce sold in a few stores or directly from Mr. Hoover Lee himself). I injected about 2 ounces into the roast, then poured the rest, with the reserved minced garlic into a ziplock with the roast and allowed it to marinate while the egg got ready.
Indirect, elevated cook with a couple of handfuls of dried fig trimmings - 275-300* dome.
Here is the roast, ready for the fire! Added a few turns of fresh ground black pepper just before the grill.
I heated the marinade and did one good basting about 5 minutes before removing from the Egg.
Pulled at 138* internal, foiled and rested while I had a drink with my neighbor.
Sliced and juicy: :woohoo:
Plated with some tomato/basil orzo and a chicken/pesto empanado (both from the The Fresh market Deli :
The roast was tender, juicy and flavorful throughout. I was concerned the Hoover's sauce would be too strong, hence diluting with the olive oil. As a result there was just enough hint of the teriyaki to add to the pork flavor.
Nice meal for me bach'ing it as the wifey is in Arkansas for a few days visiting one of our grandsons.

Thanks, Molly.
I'm not used to cooking for just one, so I had a tough time at the store trying to find something interesting to cook.
I haven't used the Hoover Sauce in a while.... -
Thanks, Hoss....... :huh: I think ! :ohmy:

Thanks, Beli.
Sometimes a thick pork roast can be sorta bland on the inside. Injecting this one really added some 'punch' to the flavor ! -
That Hoover is great. Tried on some beef short ribs.May be placing an order soon. Nice looking grandson.

Looks nummy Clark. BTW, you gave us some of that sauce. I was thinking of trying it on chicken one of these days. Do you have any other recipes off hand that you use it in?

Thanks, Richard. He is really a sweet-tempered kiddo!
Glad o have been enjoying the sauce. I forget to use mine, so this was a real treat! -
what a cute sweet baby! and the food's not half bad either!
-
Just treat it like Dales or soy sauce - needs some dilution if used in a long marinate. Kinda strong.
He has a chicken drumette recipe on his website, but it is for fried ckn.

Here is a quick Google search link:
http://www.google.com/search?q=hoover+sauce&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&client=safari
Some people put a couple of teaspoons in ground beef for burgers or a teaspoon added to stove top cooked veggies.
50:50 Hoovers/oil might be a good starting point.
Let me know how it turns out! -
Thanks, Shane. On both counts! :woohoo:
-
Thanks, Jason. I think!?
-
Thanks Clark!
