The BEST Marinated Pork Loin

Step 1

In a large resealable bag, combine the first 9 ingredients to create the marinade.

Step 2

Add the pork loin and marinate for about 4 hours turning several times.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 4

Place a large skillet coated with cooking spray over medium high heat.

Step 5

Remove the loin from the marinade and pat it semi-dry. Reserve the marinade mixture.

Step 6

Sear the loin on all sides, including the ends, in the hot skillet. Set the skillet aside without cleaning it (leave all the juices and cooked bits in it) and keep it for later as well.

Step 7

Place the seared loin on a rack in a shallow pan. Add the 1 cup of chicken broth to the pan.

Step 8

Cook for 40-50 minutes or until the internal temperature is 145 degrees (about 20-25 minutes per pound). Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

During the last 15 minutes of cooking time, transfer the reserved marinade to a small pan and bring it to a rolling boil. Lower the heat but keep the marinade at a slow boil for ten minutes.

Step 10

Put the skillet that you seared the loin in back over medium-high heat.

Step 11

Pass the boiled marinade through a strainer into the skillet. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken broth. Cook, stirring to loosen any cooked bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a low boil.

Step 12

Add the butter and stir until melted.

Step 13

Slice the loin in about 1/2” thick slices. Drizzle with the pan sauce.
