Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until the ingredients are fully blended.
Add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, ground black pepper, and kosher salt to the mixture. Stir well to incorporate the spices.
Pour in the freshly squeezed orange juice and stir in the orange zest to give the marinade a bright, citrusy flavor.
Place your pork ham roast in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the roast, ensuring that it is evenly coated.
Seal the bag tightly or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the marinated pork for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat.
When ready to cook, remove the pork from the marinade and discard any excess liquid. Cook the pork ham roast as desired (roasting, grilling, or slow-cooking).
