Ingredients
Honey Garlic Sauce
- ½ cup (170 g) honey
- ½ cup (120 g) chicken broth
- ¼ cup (120 g) Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 1 medium lemon, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
Pork Loin
- 1 boneless (3 pounds) pork loin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
Honey Garlic Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix together honey, chicken broth, mustard, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
Pork Loin
- Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels. Evenly season pork loin on all sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- To a medium oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. Once hot, sear the seasoned pork loin on all sides until it forms a golden crust. To prevent sticking, wait for the pork to form a crust naturally before attempting to flip it. The pork will release from the skillet once a proper sear has formed.
- Pour the honey garlic sauce over the seared pork loin.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, basting the pork with the sauce every 15 minutes. Cook until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F.
- Remove the pork loin from the oven and let rest for 15-20 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the pork moist and flavorful.
- Slice the pork, drizzling more sauce from the pan over each slice. Serve warm.
