Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork loin
- 12 ounces Coca Cola
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Soy sauce
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Season the pork loin on all sides with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork loin on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pork and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the Coca Cola, soy sauce, and stir in the brown sugar until dissolved.
Return the pork loin to the skillet and spoon some of the liquid over the top.
Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Cook for about 90 minutes, basting the pork with the sauce every 30 minutes.
After 90 minutes, remove the lid/foil and continue to cook uncovered for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
While the pork rests, place the skillet with the remaining sauce on the stovetop over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir it into the sauce and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
Slice the pork into 1/2-inch slices and serve hot with the Coca Cola glaze drizzled over the top.
