Directions
- 1. Using a bias cut, score the pork loin in a crosshatch pattern on both sides. Cuts should be in half-inch intervals and a half an inch deep.
- 2. Combine the Mexican oregano, cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper and stir to mix.Add the minced onion and garlic cloves to create a paste, add enough sour orange juice to loosen the mixture and create a marinade. You will need more volume of marinade and more liquid to marinate in a dish or zip lock bag, less if you plan to vacuum seal. Place the marinated pork loin for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- 3. Temper the pork loin by removing it from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Take the pork loin out of the marinade mixture and pat it dry. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Pan sear the pork loin, turning and basting often until the loin is browned and cooked to an internal temperature of 140°F, let rest and carry over 245°F.
- 4. To assemble the salad: Combine all the ingredients for the salad and lightly dress with neutral oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
