Skagit River Ranch Original Steak Marinade

Try marinating sirloin steaks for 2 hrs before putting them on the grill.
1/4 cup Fresh Lemon Juice
1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
1/2 tsp thyme

1/4 cup Fresh Parsely, minced

1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 Tsp Honey

Honey-Ginger Brined Pork

Serves 6
Very easy, you can put the roast in the brine frozen.

8 cups water ( approx)
2 large cloves of garlic
1/2 cup corse salt Zest pf
1-2 oranges ( 1 orange for small rst)
1/2 cup Honey
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
3 slices of fresh ginger, each about the size of a quarter
1 tablespoon mustard seed
1 bay leaf
1 pork roast ( any roast ) 4 - 6 lbs

In a covered pot large enough to submerge the roast later, heat the water to boil. Remove from heat, and stir in the salt and honey until both are dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the pork. Cool the mixture to room temperature and add the roast ( frozen, defrosted or fresh), and weigh it down so that it is totally submerged in the brine.

Refrigirate. Leave the roast to brine at least 24 hours, but could leave it 2-7 days, turning several times. If the roast was frozen when you put it in the brine, give it at least 2 days). Preheat oven to 400F.

Remove the meat from the brine, wipe it dry. Roast for 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 300F. Roast until the internal temperature of the meat is 145F– 155F. ( this is the key!) Remove the roast from the oven, and tent it loosely with foil. Allow the meat to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
