Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork loin
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 6 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Place the pork loin on a clean cutting board. Trim any excess fat, if necessary, and pat the meat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, salt, rosemary, and water until well combined.

Step 3

Place the pork loin in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the pork loin from the marinade and let it come to room temperature for about 20 minutes. Reserve the marinade for later use.

Step 5

Place the pork loin on a roasting rack in a baking dish. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the loin without touching bone.

Step 6

Bake the pork loin in the preheated oven for approximately 40–45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork with the reserved marinade every 10–15 minutes during cooking.

Step 7

Once the pork reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and loosely tent it with aluminum foil. Allow the meat to rest for 10–15 minutes to retain its juices.

Step 8

Slice the pork loin into half-inch thick slices and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle with any remaining pan juices, if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh garden salad.
