A flavorful and tender pork loin marinated in a savory Asian-inspired sauce, perfect for a delightful dinner.
Combine the soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, black pepper, and sesame oil in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the honey is well mixed into the soy sauce for an even sweetness.
Place the pork loin in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it is well coated.
Turn the pork occasionally while marinating for even flavor distribution.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Longer marination enhances the depth of flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the pork inside.
Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil and place the marinated pork loin in the pan.
Lining the pan with foil makes cleanup easier.
Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature without cutting into the pork.
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the pork moist.
