Provided by Tasty

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup soy sauce, plus 2 tbsp, divided
¼ cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons garlic, chopped
¼ cup scallions, chopped
2 lb boneless, skin-on pork shoulder
1 bunch asparagus, halved
6 yukon potatoes, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup dark brown sugar
½ cup honey

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (240 ml) of the soy sauce with the sugar, garlic, and scallions, stirring until mixed.
  • Score the skin of the pork by slicing a crosshatch pattern through the skin down to the meat. This will help excess fat render out and allow more of the marinade to soak in.
  • Place the pork in the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for one hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 275ºF (140°C).
  • On a baking sheet, place the asparagus halves to the right and diced potatoes to the left. Toss the vegetables with the oil, salt, and pepper. Place the marinated pork in the middle of the baking sheet.
  • Bake 1 to 1 ½ hours, depending on the weight of the pork.
  • Raise the heat of the oven to 500ºF (260ºC).
  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, and remaining soy sauce, stirring until smooth.
  • Spoon the honey glaze over the top of the pork, making sure to fill the cracks and crevices on top.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until sugar is dark brown and caramelized, and the top of the pork is crispy.
  • Remove the vegetables and pork from the tray, making sure to save all the juices.
  • Slice the pork into ½-inch (2 ½ cm) slices, and plate with the roasted vegetables. Spoon the reserved pan juices on top of the pork.
  • Enjoy!

TENDER AND JUICY PORK LOIN ROAST RECIPE



Tender and Juicy Pork Loin Roast Recipe image

This Honey Garlic Glazed Pork Roast recipe is hands down the BEST. If you're wondering how to cook pork loin, this easy recipe makes juicy, fork tender pork loin.

Provided by Katerina | Diethood

Categories     Dinner

Number Of Ingredients 16

3- pound pork loin
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
salt and fresh ground pepper, (to taste)
4 cloves garlic, (minced)
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons low-sodium gluten free soy sauce
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound brussels sprouts, (cut in half)
1 pound butternut squash, (peeled, seeds cleaned out, and cut into 1-inch cubes (you can also buy pre-cut butternut squash))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375˚F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and set aside. Pat dry pork loin with paper towels.
  • In a small mixing bowl combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper.
  • Lightly spray pork loin with cooking spray. This will make it easier for the spice mix to stick.
  • Take the spice mix and rub it all over the pork loin.
  • Heat olive oil over medium heat and sear the pork loin until browned on all sides; about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer pork loin to previously prepared baking sheet, fat-layer side up; set aside.
  • In a bowl, combine garlic, honey, soy sauce, mustard and oil; whisk until well combined. If too thick, add a bit more oil or soy sauce. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the sauce to use for the vegetables.
  • Brush remaining honey mixture over the pork loin. Roast for 25 minutes.
  • In the meantime, toss the vegetables with a tablespoon of olive oil and the reserved honey mixture. Pull pork roast out of the oven and add the vegetables all around it in one layer.
  • Tent a piece of foil over the pork so the top doesn't burn, but the inside continues to cook. Put back in the oven and continue to cook for 25 to 30 more minutes, or until internal temperature of the pork loin reaches 145˚F. Use an Instant Read Thermometer to check for doneness. Stir vegetables half way through cooking.
  • Remove baking sheet from oven and loosely cover meat and veggies with foil; let rest 10 minutes. Cut the pork in slices and serve with veggies.

SPICE-BRINED PORK ROAST WITH ORANGE-SOY GLAZE



Spice-Brined Pork Roast with Orange-Soy Glaze image

Pork roasts are an easy and affordable option for feeding a crowd, but the lean meat can become dry in the oven. This recipe solves that problem with a super flavorful brine full of bright, warming flavors like orange, ginger, star anise and dried chilies.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2/3 cup kosher salt
1/3 cup sugar
2 2-inch pieces fresh ginger, quartered lengthwise and smashed
3 cloves garlic, smashed
12 star anise pods
8 dried chiles de arbol, torn into pieces
1 orange, quartered
1 bone-in, center-cut pork roast (8 ribs; about 7 pounds), bones frenched
1/2 cup fresh orange juice (from 2 oranges)
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Brine the pork: Combine the salt, sugar, ginger, garlic, star anise and chiles in a large pot with 4 cups water. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and salt. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Squeeze the orange juice into the brine, then add the squeezed orange pieces and 2 cups cold water.
  • Place the pork on a cutting board, fat cap-side down and make a few slits between the ribs with a sharp knife; transfer to a large pot or resealable plastic bag. Add the brine, plus up to 2 cups more water if needed to cover the pork. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Remove the pork from the brine and pat very dry. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Set a rack in a roasting pan and place the pork on the rack, fat-side up. Roast until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 115˚ F to 120˚ F, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and increase the temperature to 425˚ F.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze: Combine the orange juice, hoisin sauce, soy sauce and sugar in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Simmer, stirring, until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Set aside about half of the glaze for serving.
  • Brush some of the remaining glaze over the roast. Return to the oven and continue cooking, brushing with more glaze every 5 minutes, until the thermometer registers 135˚ F to 140˚ F, 15 to 25 more minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest 20 to 30 minutes before carving. Serve with the reserved glaze and any collected juices.

SLOW COOKER HONEY-SOY BRAISED PORK WITH LIME AND GINGER



Slow Cooker Honey-Soy Braised Pork With Lime and Ginger image

Here to save your weeknight life: a slow-cooker main that's truly "set-it-and-forget-it," with results that taste like they required significantly more effort. This rich and flavorful pork takes about 5 minutes to throw together in the morning. Before dinner, just simmer the sauce - a sweet-salty mix of soy and honey - until it's syrupy, shred the meat, add a flurry of fresh herbs and you're done. The meat is a wonderfully simple anchor, and you can build a meal around it: Add lettuce cups and kimchi or serve it over rice, whole grains or even tortillas.

Provided by Sarah DiGregorio

Categories     dinner, weekday, meat, roasts, main course

Time 8h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 to 4 pounds boneless, skinless pork shoulder, trimmed of big hunks of fat and cut in half
8 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger (from one 3-inch piece)
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest and 2 tablespoons juice (from 1 lime), plus more lime wedges for serving
1 cup tamari or low-sodium soy sauce (see Tip)
1 cup honey
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
Cooked rice, noodles or lettuce cups, for serving
Toasted sesame seeds, sliced scallions and chopped cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • Place the pork in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Scatter the garlic, ginger, red-pepper flakes and lime zest over the top. In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the tamari, honey and sesame oil, then pour it over the pork. Using tongs, turn to coat all sides of the pork in the sauce, and spoon some over the top so that some of the garlic and ginger is on top of the pork. Cover and cook on low until the pork is very tender and shreds easily with a fork, 8 to 9 hours; it will hold well on warm. (If you are home and able to flip the pork once during cooking, that will help the flavors distribute evenly on the meat and make the color uniform. If not, it will be fine.)
  • Using tongs, transfer the pork from the slow cooker to a serving platter or large, shallow serving bowl. Using a ladle, skim excess fat off the surface of the cooking liquid, if desired. Carefully pour the sauce into a large pot. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and let it simmer until reduced and slightly syrupy, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, coarsely shred the pork using two forks.
  • Sprinkle the lime juice over the top of the meat. Drizzle about half the sauce over the top of the shredded meat, tossing to evenly combine. Serve over rice or noodles or in lettuce cups. Top with sesame seeds, scallions and cilantro. Pass the remaining sauce at the table, if desired, as well as extra lime wedges and red-pepper flakes.

POT-ROASTED SPICED HONEY SOY PORK



Pot-roasted spiced honey soy pork image

Gordon Ramsay's sticky, glossy belly pork dish can be prepared well in advance.

Provided by Gordon Ramsay

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1x1.6-1.7kg/3½-3¾lb p pork belly without rind and bones (about 2.7kg/6lb before boning and derinding)
5 tbsp olive oil , plus extra for frying
2 carrots , sliced
1 onion , sliced
4 celery sticks, sliced
1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
1 tbsp clear honey
150ml soy sauce
300ml red wine
500ml chicken stock

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill until hot. Meanwhile, trim off as much visible fat as possible from the top of the joint, and trim the underside too of any flaps of meat. Neaten the edges. Brush with 2 tablespoons of the oil, season and then place in a roasting tin. Brown under the grill for 10 minutes on each side. Preheat the oven to 170C/gas 3/fan 150C.
  • Make the marinade. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan and sauté the carrots, onion and celery over a high heat for about 10 minutes until nicely caramelised. Stir in the five-spice powder and honey. Cook for another minute or so. Pour in the soy sauce and wine and boil until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Then add the stock and boil for 2-3 minutes more. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
  • Pour the hot marinade over the meat in the roasting tin and cover the top with butter papers or wet greaseproof paper. Roast for 2½ -3 hours until the meat is very tender when pierced with a fork. Allow the meat to cool to room temperature in the marinade.
  • Scrape the vegetables off the top of the meat, then put the meat on a tray and place a board on top. Weigh down with weights or large cans and chill overnight. Strain the marinade and chill it too - don't worry if it doesn't look very glamorous at the moment, it will look better.
  • When ready to complete the dish, cut the pork across the grain into 'rashers' about 2cm wide. Cut each rasher crossways in half. Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan until nice and hot, then sauté the pork slices in batches for about 5 minutes on each side until caramelised, spooning over the reserved marinade so they cook to a glossy glaze. As each batch is cooked, cover the pork and keep it warm.
  • At the end, any remaining marinade can be bubbled down slightly for a serving sauce (there will only be a little for drizzling). Pick a light fruity red, such as French grenache (garnacha in Spain), or a semillon from Australia or Chile to serve with this dish.

HONEY-SOY BRAISED PORK WITH LIME AND GINGER



Honey-Soy Braised Pork With Lime and Ginger image

This is a wonderfully simple and hands-off way to prepare a flavorful hunk of meat, equally suited to a weeknight or a dinner party. There is no need to brown the pork first because the meat gets appealingly dark and caramelized while braising in the rich combination of soy sauce and honey. Fresh cilantro, scallions and a squeeze of lime added just before serving bring freshness. This meal is flexible: It works over rice or other whole grains, tossed with noodles or wrapped in lettuce leaves.

Provided by Sarah DiGregorio

Categories     dinner, weekday, meat, roasts, main course

Time 4h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 to 4 pounds boneless, skinless pork shoulder, trimmed of big hunks of fat and cut into 2 pieces
8 large garlic cloves, smashed and finely chopped
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger (from one 3-inch piece)
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest and 2 tablespoons juice (from 1 lime), plus more lime wedges for serving
1 cup tamari or low-sodium soy sauce (see Tip)
1 cup honey
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
Cooked rice, noodles or lettuce cups, for serving
Toasted sesame seeds, sliced scallions and chopped cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the pork in a large Dutch oven that has a lid. Scatter the garlic, ginger, red-pepper flakes and lime zest over the top. In a measuring cup, whisk together the tamari, honey and sesame oil, then pour it over the pork. Using tongs, turn to coat all sides of the pork in the sauce, and spoon some over the top so that some of the garlic and ginger is on top of the pork. Cover, transfer to the oven and cook for 2 hours.
  • Uncover the pot and flip both chunks of pork. Cover the pot and braise until the pork shreds easily with a fork, about 1 more hour. Transfer to the stovetop.
  • Using tongs, transfer the pork to a serving platter or a large shallow serving bowl. Using a ladle, skim and discard the excess fat off the surface of the cooking liquid remaining in the Dutch oven, if desired. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and let it simmer until reduced and slightly syrupy, about 8 minutes.
  • While the sauce simmers, coarsely shred the pork using two forks. Sprinkle the lime juice over the top of the meat. Drizzle about half the sauce over the top of the shredded meat, then toss to combine. Serve over rice or noodles or in lettuce cups. Top with sesame seeds, scallions and cilantro. Pass the remaining sauce at the table, if desired, as well as extra lime wedges and red-pepper flakes.

Tips:

  • For a crispier pork roast, pat the roast dry with paper towels before searing it in the skillet.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the internal temperature of the pork roast by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the roast. If the juices run clear, the roast is cooked through.
  • Let the pork roast rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the roast, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve the honey soy glazed pork roast with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.

Conclusion:

Honey soy glazed pork roast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet, savory, and salty flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a restaurant-quality meal that your family and friends will love.
