Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 pounds Pork (pork chops, pork loin, or tenderloin)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
Place the pork in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring the meat is thoroughly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the pork and allow it to marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor. Turn the meat once or twice during the marination process.
When ready to cook, remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
Discard the marinade and pat the pork dry with paper towels to ensure a nice sear if grilling or pan-searing.
Proceed with your preferred cooking method (grilling, roasting, or pan-searing) and cook until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
