Glazed Brown Sugar Dijon Pork Loin

 

This recipe only calls for 4 ingredients and no need to marinate overnight. I used a 4 lb pork loin and baked it at 425 for 30 min, and then for another 20-30 min at 375. I then let it rest for 10 min. The pork loin was very flavorful and moist.

Ingredients

§  4 lb centre loin pork roast

·        4 tbsp whole grain Dijon mustard

·        2/3 cup brown sugar

·        salt and pepper to season

 

Directions

1.      Trim the fat from the roast, leaving only a quarter inch of fat on top at the most.

2.      Season the pork loin with salt and pepper and open roast the pork on a rack in a 425 degree F oven for 1/2 hour.

3.      Brush the entire surface of the roast with a large grain dijon mustard, then press brown sugar into the mustard, all over the roast.

4.      Return the roast to the oven, reduce the heat to 375 degrees F. Continue to roast until the internal temperature of the roast hits between 145 to 160 degrees F on a meat thermometer.

5.      Baste the roast in the drippings/sauce several times during the cooking time.

6.      Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving.
