Instructions:
1. Prepare the Marinade:
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced ginger, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes. Ensure all the ingredients are well blended to form a harmonious marinade.
2. Marinate the Pork:
Place the boneless pork loin in a zip lock bag and pour the prepared marinade over it. Seal the bag tightly, ensuring the marinade coats the pork evenly. Refrigerate the marinated pork loin overnight, turning it occasionally to infuse flavor throughout.
3. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s adequately heated for the roasting process.
4. Prepare the Roasting Pan:
Grease a shallow roasting pan to prevent the pork loin from sticking during the cooking process.
5. Roast the Pork:
Once the oven reaches the desired temperature, remove the marinated pork loin from the refrigerator. Place it in the prepared roasting pan and roast the pork uncovered for the initial 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C). This helps to seal in the juices and initiate the cooking process.
6. Adjust the Temperature:
After the initial 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) for the remainder of the cooking time.
7. Monitor the Internal Temperature:
Continue roasting the pork loin until its internal temperature reaches 170°F (77°C). Use a meat thermometer to accurately gauge the doneness of the pork.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
Once the pork loin is cooked to perfection, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and flavorful result. Slice the pork loin into 1/2 inch slices and serve hot.
Pro Tips:
- For added flavor, consider adding a splash of fish sauce or sesame oil to the marinade.
- Garnish the sliced pork loin with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions for a vibrant touch.
- Pair this delectable dish with steamed jasmine rice and stir-fried vegetables for a complete Thai-inspired meal experience.
