Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 3 lb boneless pork roast
Marinade Liquids:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons honey
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine ¼ cup olive oil, ¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup apple cider vinegar, 3 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and ½ teaspoon black pepper in a bowl. Whisk until all ingredients blend smoothly.
- Submerge your 3-pound pork roast completely in the marinade. Seal the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing flavors to penetrate deeply.
- Extract the marinated pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Preheat your oven to exactly 350°F.
- Transfer the roast to a clean roasting pan, discarding excess marinade. Position the meat in the center of the oven.
- Roast the pork for 1 ½ to 2 hours, checking the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Baste the roast every 30 minutes with accumulated pan juices to maintain moisture.
- Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest undisturbed for 10 minutes. This allows the internal juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Slice the roast against the grain into thin, even pieces. Serve immediately while still warm.
Notes
- Let the pork marinate overnight to develop deeper, richer flavors that penetrate the meat completely.
- Always use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfectly cooked, juicy pork that’s safe to eat.
- For a gluten-free version, replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos to keep the same savory depth.
- If your family prefers less herb intensity, reduce rosemary and thyme by half and add a touch of sage for a milder herbal profile.
