I got a pork loin to make some Krakowska & figured I might as well smoke a piece of it to eat tonight

Here is the loin I started with


I cut off a piece & gave it a nice coating of rub.


In the smoker with a couple taters. Temp at 225* Using the AMNPS with a mix of oak, maple & apple pellets.


Right after taking out to wrap & rest. Pulled at IT of 146* Left taters in while it was resting & I made the sauce.
 
Now for the sauce


Onions


Chopped


Homemade wine

Put a lil olive oil in pan & sauteed the oninons for a couple minutes then added a tablespoon or so of fresh chopped garlic & sauteed for another minute or so then added the homemade wine.


Left it simmer.


Beef broth.


Left it simmer till I could "drag the spoon" then added the beef broth.


No explanation necessary


Left it simmer till I could drag the spoon again then added half the cream.


Fresh ground pepper & parsley.


Almost ready.


Added the parsley & fresh ground peppercorns & it is officially done.

I figured the taters were done & the wine peppercorn sauce was done so time to unwrap the loin.


Just unwrapped - steaming hot

 Looks Great!!! And this has confirmed my theory on the Pork Shortage, you did buy it all!

Thanks! & yes I guess I did contribute to the pork shortage somewhat - I am making some more sausages tomorrow too

I also forgot to add that I used the Bubba Q Rub posted by Chef JimmyJ on the loin - it blended well with the sauce I made

Man that looks great! I am looking forward to the Krakowska thread too...JJ
 
That looks great, perfectly cooked and moist! I've never used a peppercorn sauce on pork and it sounds really good. I look forward getting the details on the sauce as well. It looks like it would be great on pork or steak.

Thanks! I will be back at my house hopefully before too much longer & I will post the measurements for the sauce.
 
     Ok here are the measurements I wrote down for the sauce I made. I used a cup of chopped onions & added just enough olive oil to keep them from burning - not much more than a couple tablespoons. I chopped up 4 cloves of garlic - these were average sized cloves - & used 1/2 cup of the homemade wine. You could use red wine if you don't have homemade.

      The beef broth I had measured just shy of 2 cups & I used half the container of cream which worked out to 1/2 cup. The pepper I ground fresh & put in the spoon just to see & it was very, very close to 1 1/2 tablespoons. If you don't grind the pepper fresh you will have to use more to get the same flavor - fresh ground pepper sets this off nicely in my opinion.

      The last thing I used was 1/2 cup parsley.

If anyone has any questions or needs any more info just ask. I have to run to my shop but I will be back shortly...
