Ingredients
- 3-4 lb. boneless pork loin
- 5 cups apple cider
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 5 sprigs fresh rosemary plus additional for garnish
- salt and pepper to taste
- For serving: barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Marinate pork loin in apple cider, garlic, and rosemary for at least 12 hours (or up to 3 days).
- Remove pork loin from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Discard marinade.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 10- to 12-inch cast iron skillet or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering. Sear the pork on four sides (about 4-6 minutes per side), just until a nice golden-brown color develops and the meat releases easily from the pan. You don’t need to cook the meat all of the way through, since it will finish in the oven.
- Transfer the pork to the oven and roast for 45-60 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork reads 145°F. Exact cooking time will vary depending on the size of your pork.
- Cover loosely with foil and allow the meat to rest for about 15-20 minutes.
- While the pork rests, warm your favorite barbecue sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Slice the pork loin thinly, drizzle with sauce, and garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary.
Notes
- Serving Suggestion: for a classic Virginia-style meal, try serving the pork like The Boar's Head does -- over grits, drizzled with homemade barbecue sauce, and accompanied by fried apples and sautéed fresh green beans!
