Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 to 2.5 pounds pork loin, trimmed of excess fat
  • 3 tablespoons honey (preferably raw or wildflower)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard (optional but recommended)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to come to temperature for at least 10 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard (if using), olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and thyme until smooth with visible mustard seeds.
  3. Trim the pork loin by removing any thick silver skin or large fat deposits. Pat the pork dry with paper towels.
  4. Place the pork loin in an oven-safe roasting pan. Using a brush or spoon, coat the entire surface evenly with the honey mustard glaze, reserving about a tablespoon for basting later.
  5. Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). About halfway through (at 25 minutes), baste the pork with the reserved glaze.
  6. Remove the pork from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Let it rest for at least 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  7. Slice the pork loin into thick slices about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) thick and serve immediately.

Notes

Pat the pork dry before glazing to help the glaze stick and form a crust. Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking and ensure juiciness. Baste halfway through roasting to build a sticky, flavorful crust. Rest the meat for at least 10 minutes before slicing. If glaze browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil halfway through cooking.
