Latin Marinated Cedar Plank Pork Filets



2 pork filets (cut from loin)
1 cedar plank
MARINADE
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup orange juice
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped fine
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup paprika
1/4 cup ground cumin
2 tablespoons ground coriander seed
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon finely ground black pepper

1. Place all marinade ingredients and pork in a large zipper-lock bag and shake to mix thoroughly. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4-24 hours.
2. Place cedar plank in water to cover and soak for 2 hours.
3. Preheat grill to medium-high.
4. Place soaked cedar plank over the hottest part of the grill for 3 minutes.
5. Flip the plank to the other side and place marinated pork on the plank.
6. Move the plank over indirect heat and cook for 20-25 minutes, checking every 5 minutes to make sure the plank has not caught fire but is smoldering.
7. Remove the plank from the grill when the pork has an internal temperature of 150°F. Let pork rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
8. Slice pork and serve on the cedar plank.
Makes 3-4 servings.
