Spicy Honey Mustard and Herb Pork Loin Roast

This was so good... The combination of the honey, mustard, pepper and herbs made this marinade a definite keeper. It is definitely worth the few hours of cooking. I dressed this roast up and made it look like a million bucks {and I only paid 5 for it}.  It was the special of the week at my local market; and I just couldn't pass it up.  This marinade is absolutely amazing...I love it and so does my husband.  This is a recipe I will definitely be making again.

Ingredients:
  • 3 lbs pork loin roast
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/8 cup olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp pepper
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  With a knife, cut slits in your roast and place on a roasting pan. 
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine honey, olive oil, Dijon, pepper, rosemary, thyme, oregano and salt.  Mix well.
  3. Brush half of the honey mixture all over roast {setting remaining mixture aside}.  Work the honey mixture into slits.  
  4. Place roast in oven at 450 degrees for 10 minutes.  
  5. Turn oven down to 300 degrees. 
  6. Bake roast in preheated oven for 1 hour. 
  7. Remove roast from oven and turn roast over.  Brush the remaining honey mixture over roast.  
  8. Return roast to oven and bake for another 45 to 60 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.  
  9. Remove from oven and cover with foil.  Let stand for 15 minutes before serving. 
  10. Slice as you like and serve.
Enjoy!
