Oven-Roasted Laranja-Marinated Pork Loin
Oven-Roasted Laranja-Marinated Pork Loin: A Citrus-Infused Portuguese Delight
Ingredients
- 2 lb pork loin (1 kg)
- 1 juice from a large, juicy orange, plus zest of the orange
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 4 garlic cloves, smashed
- 2 bay leaf
- splash white wine
Equipment
- 1 medium bowl
- 1 large ziplock bag
- 1 cookie sheet or baking dish
Instructions
Combine all ingredients except the pork loin in a medium sized bowl and stir to incorporate.- In a large container or zip lock bag place the pork loin inside and pour the marinade over. Turn the pork loin over and over so that the marinade covers the loin.
- Let the pork loin marinade for at least 4 hours and up to overnight in the refrigerator.
- One hour prior to cooking take the pork loin out of the refrigerator and set on the counter to warm up a bit and get closer to room temperature.
- Turn on an oven and set to 375F / 190C.
- Remove the pork loin from the marinade and place on a baking sheet or baking dish. For easier clean up place a sheet of tin foil underneath the pork loin and fold the edges up slightly.
- Place the pork loin baking sheet/dish into the oven and cook for 50-60 minutes, until the pork loin reaches 145°F / 63°C. Use a meat thermometer to check to temperature after 50 minutes.
- After the pork loin reaches the desired internal temp remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes.
Then place on a cutting board and slice into 1/2 inch thick slices for serving.- Pour any remaining juices over top and serve with your favorite side dish.
