Irish Guinness & Honey Glazed Pork Loin

Pork loin basted in a sweet honey glaze, with a hint of Guinness

Ingredients:

1kg Pork Loin to serve 4 people 2.5kg to serve 6-8 people
100ml honey
250g muscovado sugar
330ml Guinness
200ml white wine or prosecco Salt and pepper to taste

The Pork

Step 1:

Pre heat the left side and the right side of the barbecue to a medium heat, leaving the middle burner off.

Step 2:

Begin by seasoning the pork generously with salt and pepper. Cook it indirectly on the barbecue for approximately 20 minutes. To achieve indirect cooking on the barbecue, activate both the left and right burners, positioning the pork in the middle with no direct heat underneath it.

Step 3:

Close the hood to create an oven-like cooking environment. While the pork cooks, prepare the glaze in a saucepan.

The Glaze

Step 1:

Start with a saucepan and spoon either on your hob or barbecue side burner. Put the Guinness, honey and sugar into the pan.

Step 2:

Cook on high to reduce it down to form a sticky syrupy glaze and allow to cool down. You can now brush the pork with most of the glaze and continue cooking for 30-40 minutes. With the glaze, continue to baste and brush the pork until it is cooked.

Step 3:

Remove the pork from the barbecue, leave to rest on a warm plate. In the glaze saucepan, you can now add the wine and heat up again to make a sauce for the pork.

Step 4:

Carve the pork into thin slices and serve with the sauce and any vegetable or bread accompaniment you like.
