🥘Ingredients

Marinade Ingredients

1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika

Pork Roast

2 lb pork roast, boneless

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a large bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, Dijon mustard, black pepper, salt, and paprika until well combined.
2This will create a fragrant and thick marinade.
3Place the pork roast in a baking dish.
4Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is fully coated.
5Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
6This allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat.
7Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
8Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
9This helps the pork cook more evenly.
10Place the pork roast in the baking dish with the marinade, ensuring it is still well coated.
11Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
12This slow cooking method ensures the pork remains tender and juicy.
13After 1 hour, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
14Roast the pork for an additional 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
15The pork should be golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.
16Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
17This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
18Slice the pork against the grain into thin slices and serve with the remaining marinade as a sauce.
