6 servings

  • 1 quart cold water
  • 0.33333334326744 cup maple syrup
  • 0.25 cup salt
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 (2 1/2 pound) boneless pork loin roast
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Instructions

  • Make the brine: Mix water, maple syrup, salt, garlic, ginger, black pepper rosemary, and red pepper flakes together in a large stainless steel bowl.
  • Start the pork: Place pork loin in brine, cover, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or up to 10 hours at most.
  • Remove pork from brine; discard brine. Pat pork dry and season all over with salt and black pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Heat vegetable oil in an oven-proof skillet over high heat. Add pork and turn to brown on all sides, about 10 minutes total.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast until pork is browned, about 40 minutes.
  • Mix maple syrup and Dijon together in a small bowl; spread mixture all over top and sides of roast. Continue to cook until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
