Cajun Pork Loin

Juicy and tender on the inside, and a crispy crust that will blow your mind! The flavor combination was made in heaven!

I have been on a Pork Loin kick lately, since my husband has been trying to eat dirty Keto. It’s really hard to find a good balance between keto for him and a regular diet for the rest of the family.

This is a good recipe for this! He can eat his pork with a nice salad and I can add potatoes and bread to make a complete meal for everyone else.

TIPS AND TRICKS

• COLOR OF PORK: A lot of people over cook the pork. Pork is safe if there’s a little pink in the middle. Your best bet is to let your pork reach 145F and let rest for 5 minutes.
• DRY YOUR MEAT: Before you put the rub on your meat dry it with a paper towel. Then the seasoning will adhere to meat better.
• SEASON: Don’t be shy when you are adding your seasoning. It might look like a lot of spice when your applying it to the meat but trust me, you will be happy!
• REST: While your meat is resting, it gives the juices a chance flow back through the meat.
