Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork loin
- 3 pieces fresh peaches (ripe, peeled, and diced)
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon thyme (fresh, chopped)
- 0.5 cup chicken stock
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the ground ginger, garlic, soy sauce, honey, white wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the pork loin in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over it, making sure it's fully coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to overnight in the fridge for deeper flavor).
In an oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
While the pork is searing, combine the diced peaches, grated ginger, thyme, and chicken stock in a small bowl.
Once the pork is seared, pour the peach mixture into the skillet around the pork loin.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Halfway through cooking, spoon some of the pan juices over the pork to keep it moist and enhance the flavor.
Once done, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the pork loin sliced, with the peach-ginger pan sauce drizzled on top or served on the side.
