Garlic Crusted Pork Loin With Grand Marnier Roasted Sweet Potato Recipe
Posted by
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Let the pork stand out while you chop the sweet potatoes to prepare for cooking. Place the cubed sweet potatoes covering the bottom of a roasting pan to create a rack/bed for the pork loin to sit on.
- Using a sharp knife, score the fat that covers the top of the pork into square shapes. Place the pork, fat side up, on top of the sweet potatoes.
- In a glass bowl; mash the chopped garlic with a fork then add the 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/8 tsp nutmeg, and 2 tsp olive oil. Continue mashing into a sort of paste. Stir well to combine and then rub the garlic mixture into the fat on the pork and get into the scores real well.
- In another bowl; mix the honey with the orange zest and juice, Grand Marnier, 1/8 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp pepper, 1/8 tsp nutmeg, and 2 TBSP olive oil.
- Stir until all is dissolved then pour all around the pork over the sweet potatoes.
- Slice the other orange and place slices all around the pork on the sweet potatoes.
- Place in the oven, uncovered, and roast for 1 1/2 hours.
- Turn the pan and stir the sweet potatoes a little bit about midway thru cooking.
- Roast until the internal temperature reaches 150-155 degrees F when a meat thermometer is inserted. (Never cut meat to check doneness because it dries it out-get a meat thermometer they are worth it!).
- Cover the meat with foil and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before cutting to serve. (Meat that is sliced immediately dries out, you want the juices to redistribute. Also, the meat's temperature will rise at least 5 more degrees while resting and then it will be a perfect 160 degrees F!).
- Serve on a platter surrounded by the sweet potatoes and orange slices!
