Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork loin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups rhubarb
- 0.33 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels and season evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the rhubarb, honey, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and water. Stir to combine and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until the rhubarb softens and the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the pork loin to the skillet, spooning some of the rhubarb mixture over the top. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Roast the pork loin for 45-50 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) is reached when measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the pork loin sliced, topped with the rhubarb sauce, and garnished with fresh parsley, if desired.
