- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
2.5 to 3 lbs. boneless pork loin (not tenderloin)
Salt and pepper, as needed
Oil for cooking (I use regular olive oil, not extra virgin)
½ cup honey (you can also use maple syrup or do a mix of each)
2.5 TBSP soy sauce
3 TBSP white or rice wine vinegar
3 garlic cloves, minced or grated
8 oz. fresh, trimmed green beans
2 cups (give or take) baby gold potatoes, halved (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Adjust the rack to the middle position.
- In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, stir together the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and grated/minced garlic. Set aside.Â
- Season the pork loin all over with salt and pepper. Add 2 TBSP oil to a large, heavy-bottomed skillet set over med-high to high heat. When the oil shimmers, sear the pork loin on each side (4 sides) for two minutes, or until nice and brown. Pour the sauce all over and around the meat and place in the oven to roast. Roast for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature is 145 to 150 degrees F (for medium).Â
- When there are 12 minutes remaining, put the green beans in the pan with the roast, around the sides, and allow them to cook along with the pork. Spoon a little of the honey garlic sauce over the roast to baste it before going back in the oven to finish cooking. Â
- If you want to make potatoes as well, place the halved potatoes on a baking sheet, coat in about 1 TBSP olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 23 to 26 minutes in the oven, right alongside (or under) the pan with the pork and green beans.
- Allow the meat to rest for at least 10 minutes prior to slicing. Serve with the sauce and veggies.Â
