Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Pork loin
- 0.5 cups Maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 3 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pork loin on a clean cutting board. Pat it dry with paper towels, then season all sides evenly with salt and black pepper.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, rosemary, and thyme. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil, then sear the pork loin on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the maple glaze evenly over the pork loin, making sure to coat all sides.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork loin for about 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Every 15-20 minutes during roasting, baste the pork with the glaze from the bottom of the skillet to keep it moist and flavorful.
Once done, remove the pork from the oven, tent it loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork loin into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve with the remaining glaze drizzled on top. Pair it with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
