Notes

Different broilers have different temperature gages. Check the meat frequently and cook until just done. Since there is virtually no fat with this cut of meat, it’s important that you do not overcook it.There is nothing worse than dry, overcooked pork loin. I used an instant read thermometer and cooked it until it was 140 F. The carryover cooking while the meat rests will finish cook it.
