How To Make bacon-wrapped asian pork roast

  • 1
    Mix marinade in a large zip-loc bag. Lightly score pork loin surface. Place pork in marinade for 3-6 hours. DO NOT marinade overnight since the tannic acid in the wine will break the meat proteins down, wiping out the flavor & giving the meat a bit of an unpleasant mealy texture.
  • 2
    Preheat your grill or oven to 350F. Remove meat from marinade & wrap in the bacon slices.
  • 3
    Roast the pork on the grill until done, or on a grill plate in the oven until internal temp reaches 165F. Watch pork especially on the grill since the fat dripping from the bacon can catch fire & burn the bacon or roast.
  • 4
    Remove pork from the heat & allow to rest on a cutting board for 15 minutes. Slice & serve.
