How to cook deliciously - Maple-Brined Pork Loin

1. Stage

Make the brine: Mix water, maple syrup, salt, garlic, ginger, black pepper rosemary, and red pepper flakes together in a large stainless steel bowl.

2. Stage

Start the pork: Place pork loin in brine, cover, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or up to 10 hours at most.

3. Stage

Remove pork from brine; discard brine. Pat pork dry and season all over with salt and black pepper.

4. Stage

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

5. Stage

Heat vegetable oil in an oven-proof skillet over high heat. Add pork and turn to brown on all sides, about 10 minutes total.

6. Stage

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast until pork is browned, about 40 minutes.

7. Stage

Mix maple syrup and Dijon together in a small bowl; spread mixture all over top and sides of roast. Continue to cook until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
