This uncomplicated recipe for pork loin is roasted with a simple orange glaze. This makes a fabulous meal with sweet potatoes or mashed potatoes and your family's favorite veggies.
Whether for a Sunday dinner or everyday family meal, a pork loin roast is an excellent choice. If there is very little fat on the roast, wrap slices of bacon around it. You'll have a tender, juicy roast and the bonus of that wonderful smoky flavor on the outside of the meat.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces frozen orange juice concentrate (thawed)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons steak sauce (A-1, etc)
- 1 boneless pork loin roast (about 4 pounds)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Steps to Make It
-
Heat the oven to 350 F/180 C/Gas 4.
-
Line a roasting pan (large enough to hold the roast) with foil.
-
In a bowl blend the orange juice concentrate with the melted butter and steak sauce.
-
Sprinkle the pork roast lightly with salt and pepper and place it in the roasting pan.
-
Brush the orange mixture over the pork
-
Roast for about 20 to 30 minutes per pound, or until the pork is fully cooked.
-
Baste the pork again with the orange juice mixture about 5 to 10 minutes before it's done.
-
Tent the roast loosely with foil and let it rest for 3 to 5 minutes before slicing.
-
Check the pork with a food thermometer. It should register 145 F when inserted into the thickest part of the roast.
