If you're looking to prepare a meal that's both festive and easy, this roasted boneless pork loin recipe is the perfect choice. It's not only simple to make but can also be quite light, depending on the cut of pork you select.
The garlic-infused meat, combined with an aromatic crust, creates a tender and flavorful dish. Pair it with vegetables, rice, or potatoes to complete your meal.
Prepare the garlic by cutting it into long pieces for easy insertion into the meat.
Use a knife to make deep holes in the pork loin.
Insert a piece of garlic into each hole, ensuring it is pushed deep into the meat.
Continue until the entire piece of meat is studded with garlic. Add as much garlic as possible for enhanced flavor.
Place the pork loin in a tray lined with aluminum foil, leaving extra foil on the edges for wrapping.
Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper, rubbing it thoroughly on all sides.
Wrap the meat tightly in the foil.
Place the tray in the oven and cook at 200–220°C (390–430°F) for 1.5 hours.
Prepare a flavorful sauce to glaze the pork loin. Combine mustard, tomato paste, soy sauce, a pinch of salt, and dried herbs.
After 1.5 hours, remove the pork from the oven and unwrap the foil. Check that the meat is nearly cooked through.
Generously brush the sauce over the top of the pork loin.
Return the meat to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 30 minutes to create a golden-brown crust.
Let the pork loin rest for 10–15 minutes after removing it from the oven. This allows the juices to settle.
Slice and serve with your favorite side dish.
Enjoy your meal!
