Author Notes

My father and I cooked this for the first time together a few years ago. I fell in love with the combination of heat from the crushed red pepper and tangy vinegar. When these two flavors combine you get a pork with this glorious taste! I usually serve with sauteed leeks with pine nuts and roasted herb fingerling potatoes. If you have any pork remaining, it makes a great hot sandwich with some added pepper jack cheese. —Table9

  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Rosemary, Minced

I marinated a 2lb Boneless Pork Sirloin Roast 18 hrs. I poked roast all the way through using a long wooden skewer. I roasted for 350• for 20 min and finished by 10 mins broil turning once. My only changes were 3 garlic cloves pressed instead of 2 and 1/2 chopped onion. It yielded 4 dinner portions and wasn’t hot just flavorful. Next time I will increase to 1 tsp red pepper. This was simple to prepare and a keeper for sure. Much thanks!

I used the marinade on pork and chicken (since my mother-in-law is allergic to pork) and it was equally delicious. This will definitely become a BBQ favourite!
