Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.25 cup Orange juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 pounds Pork loin (for marinating)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Whisk until the ingredients are well emulsified.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, and kosher salt to the mixture. Stir well to incorporate the spices evenly.

Step 3

Pour in the freshly squeezed orange juice and whisk again to complete the marinade blend.

Step 4

Place the pork loin into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork loin, ensuring that it is fully coated.

Step 5

Seal the bag tightly (or cover the dish with plastic wrap) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For best results, let it marinate overnight to maximize flavor infusion.

Step 6

Before cooking, remove the pork loin from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

Step 7

Cook the pork loin using your preferred method—grilling, roasting, or pan-searing—until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing and serving.
