What You'll Need
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup mustard (see Tip)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cup beer
- 1 (3-1/2- to 4-pound) boneless pork loin
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
What to Do
- In a medium bowl, combine onion, mustard, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper; mix well. Stir in beer. Place pork in a large resealable plastic bag. Add marinade mixture, seal bag, and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
- When ready to roast, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Pour marinade into a saucepan and set aside.
- In a large skillet over high heat, heat oil until hot; brown pork on all sides. Place pork in baking dish. Roast 50 to 60 minutes or until internal temperature is 150 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, to make a honey mustard sauce, bring marinade to a boil over medium heat for 5 minutes or until it thickens, stirring occasionally. Carve pork into 1/2-inch slices and drizzle with sauce.
Mr. Food Test Kitchen Tip:
- When it comes to the mustard, we tested this with a Beer and Brat Mustard, but you can use a stone ground or Dijon mustard, if you prefer. Also, if you would like to serve this with our homemade spaetzle like we did, you can find here.
