Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Herb-Roasted Pork Loin.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, blend together the fragrant rubbed sage, salt, pepper, and crushed garlic to create a savory rub.
Step 3
Generously massage this aromatic mixture all over the pork loin, ensuring every inch is coated in flavor.
Step 4
Next, place the seasoned pork loin in an uncovered roasting pan, ready to transform into a succulent centerpiece.
Step 5
Slide the pan onto the center rack of your preheated oven and let it bake.
Step 6
Keep an eye on the clock, as you’ll want to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers at least 145°F (63°C).
Step 7
This should take around three hours, but remember, cooking times may vary based on your preferred level of doneness.
Step 8
While the pork is roasting to perfection, whip up a delightful glaze.
Step 9
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, water, and soy sauce.
Step 10
Stir occasionally until the mixture bubbles and thickens, then remove it from the heat and cover to keep warm.
Step 11
As the pork nears completion, brush the roast with the glaze three to four times during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Step 12
Just before serving, drizzle any remaining glaze over the roast for an extra touch of flavor.
Step 13
Enjoy the delicious aroma that fills your kitchen as you prepare this mouthwatering dish!.
