  • Liquid smoke

Instructions

1
cortar

Use a sharp-tipped knife to make several slits all over the skin of the loin.

3min
2
salgar

Generously apply the grilling salt only onto the skin of the loin, without seasoning the meat itself.

2min

Dica: The goal of this step is to dehydrate the skin to ensure good crackling (pururuca).

3
resfriar

Let the loin rest in the refrigerator for 12 hours.

720min

Dica: This period is essential for dehydrating the skin.

4
remover

After the refrigeration period, remove all the salt from the skin.

3min
5
secar

Pat the skin thoroughly dry with paper towels to remove any remaining moisture.

2min

Dica: Drying the skin is crucial for quality crackling.

6
misturar

In a bowl, mix the steak seasoning with a little grilling salt to create the meat rub.

1min

Dica: These seasonings should be purchased from the presenter's website (Bebequemcasa.com.br).

7
temperar

Flip the loin over and apply a little liquid smoke to the meat side, avoiding the skin.

1min

Dica: Liquid smoke adds aroma to the meat.

8
temperar

Generously season the entire meat surface (sides and underside) with the prepared seasoning mixture.

5min

Dica: It is not necessary to add more salt to the skin side, as it has already been treated.

9
assar

Place the loin in a broiler preheated to 482°F (250°C), initially roasting indirectly (heat from one side only) with the skin facing the opposite side of the heat source.

120min
250°C

Dica: Roasting for about two hours is the minimum estimated time for this large bone-in, skin-on piece.

10
verificar temperatura

After the initial time, check the internal temperature (it should be above 140°F, ideally around 155°F to 167°F).

1min

Dica: The bone and skin help keep the meat juicier and offer better cost-benefit.

11
assar

Flip the loin so the skin receives the strong, direct heat and let it crackle for 5 to 10 minutes, monitoring constantly.

8min
250°C

Dica: Be careful not to burn the skin during this final stage.
