Prep Pinwheels
- Butterfly open Pork Loin to make 4 flaps. Lay it the long strip of pork onto the countertop.
- Season pork with a pork rub of your choice. Then, lay down strips of provolone cheese and top with parmesan cheese.
- Lay down strips of uncooked bacon on top of cheese and roll up your pork loin.
- Season the outside with pork rub. Tie the pork roll up with butchers twine. Slice into 1.5-2 inch thick pinwheels.
- Place pinwheels on the grill on a medium heat until internal temp reaches 125°F. Then, turn heat up and sear until pinwheels reach internal temperature of 145°F.
Chimichurri Sauce
- Dice shallot and mince garlic. Rough chop cilantro, parsley and thyme. Add ingredients to a bowl with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, oil and vinegar. Mix well.
- Serve pork loin pinwheels topped with chimichurri sauce.
Notes
- Butterfly the Pork Loin Evenly - Slice the pork loin carefully so it opens into an even rectangle. This helps the pinwheels roll neatly and cook evenly.
- Don't Overfill - Spread the chimichurri and cheese evenly, but leave a small border around the edges to prevent the filling from spilling out.
- Chill Before Slicing - After rolling the pinwheels, wrap them tightly and chill for 15-20 minutes. This helps the pinwheels hold their shape when slicing.
- Use a Meat Thermometer - Cook pork to 145°F, then let it rest. This ensures perfectly juicy and tender meat every time.
- Serve Fresh - For the brightest flavor, spoon extra chimichurri over the sliced pinwheels right before serving.
