Ingredients
  

For the Pork
  • 3-4 pounds Boneless Pork Loin Choose high-quality meat for the juiciest results.
For the Marinade

  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Brings a deep caramel flavor; coconut sugar is an alternative.
  • ½ cup Soy Sauce Provides savory umami; swap with tamari for gluten-free.
  • ¼ cup Dijon Mustard Enhances flavor with a tangy kick.
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced Fresh is best, but garlic powder is a substitute.
  • Salt and Pepper Essential for flavor enhancement; adjust to taste.

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and ensure your workspace is clean and organized.
  2. Rub the boneless pork loin with salt and pepper, and optionally score the surface.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Coca-Cola, brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until sugar dissolves.
  4. Place the pork loin in a resealable bag or dish, pour marinade over it, seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the pork on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden-brown.
  6. Transfer seared pork to a baking dish, pour any remaining marinade over it, and roast for approximately 1 hour until it reaches 145°F (63°C).
  7. Remove from the oven, let it rest for 10 minutes, slice, and drizzle with the sauce before serving.

Notes

For a deeper flavor, marinate Overnight. To add a crispy exterior, broil the pork for 2-3 minutes after roasting. Monitor the temperature to avoid overcooking.
