What You'll Need

1 (3- to 4-pound) boneless pork loin roast
5 cloves garlic, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 (8-ounce) bottle Italian salad dressing
1 cup dry white wine
10 black peppercorns, crushed

What to Do

Cut 1/2-inch slits at 1-inch intervals in diagonal rows on top of roast. Insert a garlic sliver into each slit.
Combine salad dressing, wine, and peppercorns in a large heavy-duty, zip-top plastic bag. Reserve 1/2 cup dressing mixture in refrigerator for basting during grilling. Add roast to remaining mixture in bag; seal bag, and chill 8 hours, turning bag occasionally. Remove roast from marinade, discarding marinade.
Preheat grill. Coat a grill rack with cooking spray, and place over medium-high heat (350 to 400 degrees F); place roast on rack. Grill, covered, 35 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part reaches 160 degrees F., turning and basting with reserved 1/2 cup dressing mixture after 20 minutes.

Notes

This roast tastes just as fabulous cooked in your oven. Just place the roast, fat side up, in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 160 degrees, turning and basting with reserved 1/2 cup dressing mixture after 30 minutes.
