Pork Sirloin Roast

Depending on the thickness I would broil them with minimal seasoning. If they are real thick I would sear then bake to temp.

In my experience, pork sirloin doesn't respond well to dry- or high-heat methods, because it's a jumble of muscles and connective tissue.The only thing for it is a braise. A second count against it is that it doesn't have a lot of flavor, so you need to do whatever you can to boost the braising liquid -- tomatoes, mushrooms, something with soy sauce or worcestershire.

I get what are called pork sirloin cutlets. Pound, breadcrumb, brown, add tomato sauce simmer for a while, top with garlic jack and serve with pasta. It's a good meal for a good price, given the cost of other boneless things (veal, chicken).

The cooking style depends on the amount of marbling. "The other white meat" has almost no fat and needs special care to avoid drying out.

The best cooking method I've found came from the NY Times several years back:

- Take pork chops or cut the meat into chop-thickness pieces (3/4" or so).

- Pan fry 4 minutes on each side.

- Remove from heat, cover tightly and let sit for 12 minutes.

- An instant read thermometer should show 150 degrees.
