Marinade Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
Main Ingredient
- 1 pork loin roast (4–5 pounds)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, dried thyme, dried rosemary, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
- Marinate the Pork: Place the pork loin roast in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, making sure it is fully coated on all sides.
- Refrigerate: Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for roasting.
- Prepare for Roasting: Remove the pork from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off, and place it on a roasting pan. Discard remaining marinade to avoid contamination.
- Roast the Pork: Roast the pork in the preheated oven for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature registers 145°F (63°C) using a meat thermometer for safety and doneness.
- Rest the Meat: Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest loosely covered with foil for 10 to 15 minutes to allow juices to redistribute and ensure tenderness.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the pork roast against the grain and serve with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
Notes
- For best results, marinate the pork overnight to enhance flavor and tenderness.
- Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking and ensure safe internal temperature.
- Letting the meat rest after roasting is essential to keep it juicy.
- Side dishes like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad pair well with this pork roast.
- To reduce sodium, you can use low-sodium soy sauce if preferred.
