Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs (680 g) boneless pork loin
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional, for garnish)

Directions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Glaze:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
  3. Sear the Pork Loin:
    • Heat an oven-safe skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
    • Season the pork loin with a pinch of salt and pepper.
    • Add a drizzle of oil to the pan and sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown (about 2 minutes per side).
  4. Glaze and Roast:
    • Brush the prepared glaze generously over the seared pork loin.
    • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
    • Roast for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer to check.
  5. Rest and Slice:
    • Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
    • Slice the pork loin into medallions, drizzling any remaining glaze over the top.
    • Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired.

Cook’s Note:

  • If you don’t have maple syrup, you can substitute honey or brown sugar.
  • For a smoky twist, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the glaze.
