Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, dried sage, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a fragrant herb rub. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Generously rub the herb mixture over all surfaces of the pork loin, ensuring an even coating. Place the prepared pork loin on the prepared baking sheet. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Roast the pork loin in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is nicely browned, developing a rich crust. (25 minutes)

05

Step

While the pork is roasting, prepare the tangy glaze. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, water, soy sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and cornstarch until well combined. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Once the pork is browned, remove it from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C). (2 minutes)

07

Step

Lightly brush the top of the pork loin with half of the glaze mixture. Return the pork to the oven and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 145-150°F (63-65°C), approximately 45 minutes. (45 minutes)

08

Step

During the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, pour the remaining glaze over the pork loin, allowing it to caramelize and create a beautiful, glossy finish. (10 minutes)

09

Step

Remove the pork loin from the oven and lightly tent it with foil. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast. (15 minutes)

10

Step

Slice the pork loin and serve with the pan drippings and accumulated juices for an extra boost of flavor.

For best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked to the perfect internal temperature.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs in the rub, such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano.
If you prefer a sweeter glaze, add an extra tablespoon of brown sugar.
Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
The pan drippings can be used to make a delicious gravy. Simply whisk in a slurry of cornstarch and water and simmer until thickened.
