Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds boneless pork loin roast
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup honey
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Pat the pork loin roast dry with paper towels and season all over with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork roast on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
While the pork is searing, prepare the glaze by mixing honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl until well combined.
Once the pork roast is seared, pour the glaze evenly over the top of the roast.
Transfer the skillet or roasting pan to the preheated oven and roast uncovered for about 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C). Check the roast periodically and baste with the glaze in the pan every 20 minutes.
Remove the pork roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the pork roast into thick medallions and drizzle any remaining glaze from the pan over the slices.
Garnish with fresh thyme leaves if desired and serve warm.
