Recipe and uses in the kitchen: Pork loin is one of the parts that gives the most headaches when cooking it to the right juiciness. It is ideal to cut thick steaks so that when we cook it, the interior remains juicy and not dry. And when cooking it on the grill to keep it juicy, it is first seared on both sides so that the juices come out, and then the heat is lowered to finish cooking it on the inside. Turn off the heat just before it finishes cooking and let it finish on its own.
