Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 lb. boneless pork loin, well trimmed
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp. grainy mustard
1 tbsp. chopped rosemary
1 tsp. chopped thyme leaves
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Fresh rosemary sprigs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Line a 13"-x-9" pan with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  • Roll the flap of the boneless loin into a cylinder and using kitchen twine, tie the pork loin every few inches. (This helps cook the pork more evenly.)

Bake for 30 minutes, then carefully flip the loin and bake until a thermometer inserted into the middle of the meat reads 145°, about 20 minutes.
  • Mix melted butter and brown sugar together, then brush on top of the pork loin. Broil for 2 minutes to let caramelize.

My favorite do-ahead party dish. Excellent taste, very easy to make, and perfect for everything from a casual to a formal dinner party, or even a buffet. It's great served with braised belgian endive or lightly sauteed broccoli rappe, green salad, wine, and even pasta. Versatile and easy dish.
