Honey Herb Pork Loin Roast

 

Ingredients

3 lb. pork loin
1 c. beef or chicken stock, or beer
1/2 c. honey
1/2 c. mustard
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c. olive oil
2 tsp. rosemary
1 tsp. seasoned salt
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. pepper

Directions

Heat oven to 350°.

In a large bowl, or large resealing bag, combine honey, mustard, onion, garlic, olive oil, rosemary, seasoned salt, paprika and pepper.

Add the pork loin.  Turn the loin over, so all sides are covered in the marinade. Place in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours or longer. Remember to turn the loin over several times, so all sides can soak in the marinade evenly.

Remove the pork loin from the marinade, but reserve the marinade. Place the pork loin in an ovenproof skillet or a roasting pan. Let the pork loin stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.

Pour the reserved marinade in a saucepan and bring to a boil.  Boil for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.  Remove from heat. Pour over the pork loin.

Cover and bake 1 hour and 20 to 30 minutes, or until the meat registers 160° with a meat thermometer.  Baste the pork loin often as it bakes. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.
