Stovetop Smoked Pork Loin & Quick Greek Salad

StoveTop Smoked Pork & Greek Salad

After a crazy busy week away and other complications we were on our own for Sunday Roast – Pork loin was on sale and smoked sounded perfect for a Sunday.

Used Hickory-Smoked Pork Tenderloin with Herbs for the rub: 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 2 tsp dried thyme leaves, 2 tsp rubbed sage, 2 tsp dried marjoram, 1 Tbsp Olive Oil – Rub in thoroughly.

1 1/2 Tbsp Hickory chips on the bottom of the smoker – heated to medium heat and shut tight once smoked started to appear. Smoked for 30-minutes but meat was not close to temperature (165-degrees)

Simple Greek Salad

Cooked the pork loin another 30 minutes in a 375-degree oven. Obviously a pork tenderloin would have been easier and quicker.
