Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork loin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Water
- 1 sprig Fresh rosemary (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels. Season it all over with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin for 2-3 minutes on each side until it’s golden brown.
Step 4
Transfer the skillet with the pork loin into the preheated oven. Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 5
While the pork is roasting, prepare the glaze by combining orange juice, honey, soy sauce, and orange zest in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then stir it into the simmering glaze. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens. Remove from heat.
Step 7
About 10 minutes before the pork loin finishes cooking, brush a generous amount of the orange glaze over the surface of the pork.
Step 8
Remove the pork loin from the oven and tent it with foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 9
Slice the pork loin and drizzle with additional orange glaze. Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
