Method

Instructions

Start off-set charcoal fire in a Weber grill. Make sure coals are burning well. We like to add apple wood chips for an added sweet, smoky flavor.

Prepare stuffing according to instructions on the box. Remove from stove top; stir in apples, cranberries, pecans, and sage.

Lay the butterflied loin flat with sliced side up. Spread a layer of stuffing on top of the loin, then roll the loin up with the stuffing inside, placing the end seam down on a sheet of aluminum foil or an aluminum pan covered in cooking spray. Use butcher twine to hold the loin together. Season with Rub Beautiful.

Slow smoke until the meat reaches 160°F internal, approximately 45 minutes. Rest 10 minutes before slicing.

From the Legacy

Butterflied, stuffed, and tied — then slow-smoked over apple wood until the stuffing and loin cook through together. Rest before slicing so the spiral holds.
