Tangy Dijon-style mustard and a hint of honey sweetness make this pork loin roast a mouthwatering favorite! After enjoying it as a main dish, take advantage of any leftovers for hearty sandwiches!
What You'll Need
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 (2- to 2-1/4-pound) boneless center-cut single pork loin
What to Do
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a medium roasting pan with cooking spray.
-
In a medium bowl, combine honey, mustard, and salt. Place pork in roasting pan and coat completely with mixture.
-
Cover pork with aluminum foil and roast 40 minutes. Uncover and baste with pan drippings.
- Roast pork an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until no pink remains. Slice and serve with pan drippings.
Notes
Tip - Thinly sliced and topped with a little extra Dijon mustard, this roast makes super sandwiches.

Your "Cook Time" says only 15 minutes! But in the instructions, the cook time totals 55-60 minutes. You might want to fix that error -- especially since it's for pork!!

I strongly suggest not undercooking pork. All pork should be thoroughly cooked, it's not worth gambling with raw pork. One can become awfully sick with the results.

Since I always put my roasts in the oven frozen, I put them in a corning ware dish with a cover. Cook at 375 degrees for about 1 hr. Then turn down temp to 275 for another hr & 30 min. Works great for me. Because I buy roasts when they are on sale.

JVP: The U.S. Department of Agriculture has recently updated their guidelines to state that pork can be safely cooked to medium rare at a final internal cooked temperature of 145 degrees F. Hope that helps, and thanks for cooking with us!

This roast is delicious, but it needs a much longer cooking time than stated in the recipe. The government recommends that you cook pork to an internal temperature of 170 degrees F. My oven was recently calibrated, and I cooked the roast just a few days ago. Instead of the 40 minutes covered, I baked it for a full hour with the foil on. After removing the foil, the internal temperature of the pork loin was only 153 degrees, and the meat was difficult to pierce with a fork. It took almost another hour uncovered to reach the recommended temperature and feel tender.
