Ingredients
3 lbs pork loin
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp sea salt
1 tbsp black pepper
2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup apple cider
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp cornstarch
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: In a small bowl, mix together sea salt, black pepper, rosemary, thyme, and garlic to create an herb rub.
Step 3: Rub the pork loin with olive oil and then coat it evenly with the herb mixture.
Step 4: Place the pork loin on a roasting pan and put it in the oven. Roast for approximately 60 to 75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 5: While the pork is roasting, prepare the glaze. In a saucepan, combine apple cider, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Step 6: Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and add to the glaze, stirring until thickened.
Step 7: Once the pork is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 8: Drizzle the apple cider glaze over the sliced pork loin before serving.
