Vortex Pork Loin Steaks.

[TonyUK]

Picked up four thick pork loin steaks from the butcher yersterday, & was instructed to do them Vortex style.

I made up a glaze of sriracha & hoisin sauces, and then garlic ‘n’ herb sprinkles. Into the fridge for about 4 hrs. (Had to take a pic in the q-shed as it was raining). Beverage was a cold Peroni Gran Reserva.

Set up the vortex in the JJ, & a lump of orange wood.

Grill temp shot for Enrico. (I know he likes numbers).

I let the steaks come up to an IT of 130[SUP]o[/SUP]f, (+/- 50 minutes), then seared each one on either side for 30 seconds. (Apologies for the rubbish pic).

Your plate. The steaks had just turned from slightly pink to opaque. Very juicy, & a nice tinge of orange smoke. Very pleased.
Sides, vegetable & egg fried rice, & a thinly sliced onion with an apple cider evoo vinigarette. I’m really liking vortex style cooking.

Thanks for dropping by, & enjoy your weekend.

Like the loin steaks Tony, just wondered if you cook with the grill in that position for any reason? Position didn't seem to affect that great cook.

Looks great! I gotta try that vortex!

Vortex....Vortex where have I heard that before. Nice cook and what kind of flavor does that orange wood provide, besides orange, I'm guessing sweet and mild maybe. I've never tried it but I know where I can get a lot of it for free.

TOM.
The position of the grate was my doing. I never noticed until half-way through the cook.

Rich.
The orange wood does indeed impart a slightly sweet, but mild, smokey taste. I really like it.

You nailed that one Tony, outstanding.

Never seen pork loin cut like that, but I sure like the way you cooked them.
They remind me of beef sirloin cap steaks.

Way to go! We don't get pork steaks like that around here.

No, there were two steaks left. The CEO is doing pork loin steak teriyaki for the freezer. Sorry.
