Instructions
PREP WORK
- Trim pork loin of excess fat, and pat dry. Slide a length of kitchen twine underneath the pork, about 2 inches from the end. Bring the twine up over the sides of the pork and tie it with a double knot on top. Repeat with additional pieces of twine, tying in 2 inch intervals along the length of the pork loin.
MAKE THE BRINE
- Combine all brine ingredients in a very large resealable plastic bag (I used a 2 gallon size), or large airtight container. Whisk until combined well.
- Add prepared pork loin to brine, seal bag or container and refrigerate for 8-12 hours. When using a bag, I like to place the bag inside a baking dish, so in case the bag leaks, you won't have a giant mess in your refrigerator, it'll be contained in the dish.
ROAST THE PORK AND MAKE THE SAUCE
- Preheat oven to 325 F degrees. If using a roasting pan, get it out and lightly spray the rack with cooking spray. If using an oven safe skillet, get it out.
- Combine mustard and maple syrup in a small bowl, then put 2/3 of the that mixture in a small bowl, set aside for serving at the table later. The remainder of the sauce will be used for glazing.
- Remove pork from brine and pat very dry. Season pork with 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper. Discard brine.
- Heat oil in a large, heavy bottomed skillet over MED HIGH heat. Once oil is very hot, add pork and sear about 2-3 minutes per side, until browned.
- I like to use a cast iron skillet, so I can take the pan directly from the stovetop to the oven. If you prefer a roasting pan, that will work too.
- Lightly glaze pork with some of the maple mustard sauce. Roast pork for 1 hour 15 minutes.
- Glaze pork again with maple mustard sauce, then continue to roast another 10 minutes or so. Pork loin is done, and safe, when cooked to an internal temperature of 145 F degrees.
- Let pork rest 5-10 minutes, then slice and serve with the bowl of maple mustard sauce you set aside earlier.
