Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs pork loin boneless
  • 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon butter for searing
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Equipment

  • Large skillet For searing the pork before roasting
  • Roasting Pan For oven roasting the pork
  • Saucepan For making the glaze
  • Meat Thermometer To ensure proper doneness

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Pat the pork loin dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown.
  3. Transfer the pork to a roasting pan and place in the oven. Roast for 40 minutes.
  4. In a saucepan, combine apple cider, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Simmer over medium heat until slightly thickened.
  5. Brush the glaze over the pork during the last 10 minutes of roasting. Continue to cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Letting the pork rest after cooking helps keep it juicy.
  • For extra caramelization, broil the pork for 2-3 minutes after applying the final layer of glaze.
  • Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
