About
It’s not only the honey garlic glaze that adds flavor to this pork loin. First, Honey Garlic Pork Loin is rubbed with six different spices; then, it’s seared; and finally, it’s baked with its glaze. All those ingredients complement the juicy meat for a dinner that’s simple to prepare while being complex in flavor. Serve your Honey Garlic Pork Loin with veggies and crusty bread; the crusty bread really helps ensure you don’t miss out on any of the sauce!
Ingredients
- For the rub:
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- salt, to taste
- fresh ground pepper, to taste
- For the pork loin:
- 3 pound pork loin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- For the glaze:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 2 -Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and set aside.
Step 3 -In a small mixing bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to make the rub.
Step 4 -Lightly spray the pork loin with cooking spray. This will make it easier for the spice mix to stick.
Step 5 -Rub the spice mix all over the pork loin.
Step 6 -Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet and sear the pork loin until browned on all sides, about 3-5 minutes per side.
Step 7 -Transfer the pork loin to the previously prepared baking sheet, fat-layer side up; set aside.
Step 8 -In a bowl, combine the garlic, honey, soy sauce, mustard, and olive oil; whisk until well combined. If too thick, add a bit more oil or soy sauce.
Step 9 -Brush the honey glaze mixture over the pork loin.
Step 10 -Roast the loin in the oven for 25 minutes.
Step 11 -Remove the pork loin and tent a piece of foil over the pork so the top doesn't burn, but the inside continues to cook.
Step 12 -Return the loin to the oven and continue to cook until the internal temperature of the pork loin reaches 145 degrees F, about 25-30 more minutes.
Step 13 -Remove the baking sheet from the oven and loosely cover the meat with foil.
Step 14 -Let the pork rest for 10 minutes.
Step 15 -Serve warm!
