**Grilled San Antonio Pork Roast**
**Ingredients:**
– 3 lb pork loin roast
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp chili powder
– 1 tsp cumin
– 1 tsp paprika
– 1 tsp oregano
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
– 1/4 cup lime juice
– 1/4 cup orange juice
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
**Instructions:**
1. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
2. Place the pork loin roast in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, making sure it is evenly coated. Massage the marinade into the meat, ensuring all sides are covered. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Place the pork on the grill and sear each side for about 2-3 minutes, until nicely browned.
4. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to grill the pork for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.
5. While the pork is grilling, mix together the lime juice, orange juice, and chopped cilantro in a small bowl. This will be used as a finishing sauce for the pork.
6. Once the pork reaches the desired doneness, remove it from the grill and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the meat tender.
7. Slice the grilled San Antonio pork roast into thin slices and arrange on a serving platter. Drizzle the citrus-cilantro sauce over the top for an extra burst of flavor.
8. Serve the pork roast with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, cornbread, or a fresh salad. Enjoy the tender and flavorful meat with your loved ones and bask in the compliments!
