Hickory, Apple, and Herb Roasted Pork Loin step by step
- Mix all dry ingredients together in a small bowl, rub on pork loin.
- I skipped this next step due to crying children, and in a hurry, but next time doing it this way so the Pork fat is crispy on the bottom* ⬇.
- Heat a large sauté pan, and add about 1/2 cup of oil (I use vegetable oil). Once oil is hot, sear your pork loin on all sides (to a brown, I would have done the bottom fat a little longer so it was crispier).
- In a casserole dish or roasting pan, arrange onions on bottom as your “rack”, with the loin fat down on the 4 halves. Add your apple juice, chicken stock and hickory (mixed), bay leaves and sage..
- Cover with foil, heat covered in oven at 325* for 15 minutes per LB. ****so since mine was 2.5 AND I didn’t pre-sear I had mine in for about 45-50 minutes***.
- I let mine rest for about 5 minutes after the oven..
- Slice to liking.
- I kept my juice to use as a dipper, seriously made the meal! Had I had some corn starch or the patience to make a roux, I would have thickened it up a bit 😂.
- Serve with whatever sides! Total meal cost, $6 out of pocket!.
- *** Have leftovers? MAKE A SANDWICH!!! *** I made a pork loin sandwich on a bakery roll with horseradish mustard, mayo, onion, Muenster, tomato, onion and arugula, no pics but it was AWESOME!.
