Pork Loin with Honey Garlic Glaze
Tender, juicy and very flavorful.
Ingredients
For the Pork Loin
- 3 Lb. Pork Loin
- 2 Tbsp. Olive oil for browning the pork
- 4 Sprigs fresh rosemary for roasting
For the Dry Rub
- 2 tsp. Sweet paprika
- 1 tsp. Smoked paprika
- 2 tsp. Garlic granules
- 1 tsp. Onion powder
- 1 tsp. Thyme, dried
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper. Use at least 1 1/2 tsp. salt.
For the Honey Glaze
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 3 Tbsp. Soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp. Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Pat the pork dry and set aside.
- Make the dry rub by mixing all the spices in a small bowl. Rub the pork liberally with all the spice. Set aside.
- Next make the Honey Garlic Glaze. In a small bowl mix the glaze ingredients. Set aside.
- Add 2 Tbsp. olive oil and heat a heavy bottomed skillet to medium high heat. You want it nearly smoking, but not so hot it burns the spices. Sear the meat for about 3 to 5 minutes on all 4 sides until a nice, deep brown crust is formed. Position the pork fat side up.
- Brush the Honey Garlic Glaze over the pork. Add the 4 sprigs of rosemary and roast for 25 minutes. Baste the pork every 10 minutes or so with the glaze.
- Tent the pork with aluminum foil and continue roasting for another 20 to 25 minutes or until the temperature reaches 140 degrees.
- Remove from the oven and keep the foil on for 10 more minutes while the pork rests.
