Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 lb pork loin
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1.5 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small mixing bowl, combine Dijon mustard, honey, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful marinade.
Pat the pork loin dry with a paper towel and place it on a cutting board.
Generously rub the honey mustard and rosemary marinade all over the pork loin, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Transfer the pork loin to a roasting pan or a baking dish. If desired, you can add some extra rosemary sprigs and sliced lemons to the pan for added flavor.
Roast the pork in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
About halfway through the cooking time, baste the pork with the juices from the pan to keep it moist and flavorful.
Once the pork is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the pork loin into thick, even pieces and serve warm. Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
