Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork loin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Water
- 1 sprig Fresh rosemary (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels. Season it all over with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin for 2-3 minutes on each side until it’s golden brown.
Transfer the skillet with the pork loin into the preheated oven. Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
While the pork is roasting, prepare the glaze by combining orange juice, honey, soy sauce, and orange zest in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then stir it into the simmering glaze. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens. Remove from heat.
About 10 minutes before the pork loin finishes cooking, brush a generous amount of the orange glaze over the surface of the pork.
Remove the pork loin from the oven and tent it with foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the pork loin and drizzle with additional orange glaze. Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
