Ingredients
•
cooking spray
•
5 cloves garlic, minced
•
1 tablespoon dried sage
•
1 tablespoon kosher salt
•
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1 (5 pound) pork loin
•
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
•
3 tablespoons water
•
2 tablespoons soy sauce
•
2 tablespoons brown sugar
•
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
•
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
2
Combine garlic, sage, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and mix well. Rub mixture over all surfaces of the pork. Place pork on the prepared baking sheet.
3
Roast in the preheated oven until browned on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
4
While the pork is cooking, whisk together vinegar, water, soy sauce, brown sugar, mustard, and cornstarch in a small bowl.
5
When pork is browned on top, remove from the oven and reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
6
Lightly coat the top of the pork with 1/2 of the glaze mixture. Return to the oven and cook until the internal temperature reaches 145 to 150 degrees F (63 to 65 degrees C), about 45 minutes. Pour the remaining glaze over the pork during the last 5 to 10 minutes of cooking.
7
Remove from the oven and lightly tent with foil. Allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
8
Slice pork and serve with pan drippings and juices.
