Ingredients
- 4 lb pork loin
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1.5 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine Dijon mustard, honey, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful marinade.
Step 3
Pat the pork loin dry with a paper towel and place it on a cutting board.
Step 4
Generously rub the honey mustard and rosemary marinade all over the pork loin, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Step 5
Transfer the pork loin to a roasting pan or a baking dish. If desired, you can add some extra rosemary sprigs and sliced lemons to the pan for added flavor.
Step 6
Roast the pork in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Step 7
About halfway through the cooking time, baste the pork with the juices from the pan to keep it moist and flavorful.
Step 8
Once the pork is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 9
Slice the pork loin into thick, even pieces and serve warm. Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
