OK, technically there are more than 3 ingredients.
Stuff your hunk o meat with garlic. I left a piece sticking out so you could see how it is done.
Season it up. I was holding the camera in one hand and sprinkling with the other. I don't have someone from gourmet magazine taking action shots for me.
Mix up this stuff.I get really excited when I see all those bright colors.
Sear that hunk til golden brown.
Cut into slices. Look at all that garlic. Don't worry, you can eat a breath mint later.
Sweet and Tangy Pork Loin
2 lb. pork loin
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1 Tablespoon canola oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 Tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tsp. smoked paprika
Heat oven to 350.
Cut small slits in pork and stuff with garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Heat skillet til hot. Add oil and sear pork on both sides until golden brown. While meat is browning, mix brown sugar, mustard and paprika. Place hot pork on baking pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Spread half of sauce on top. Bake for 20 minutes then spread remaining sauce on top and bake another 20-25 minutes. Internal temperature should reach 145.
Notes: you could also do this with thick pork chops. If you choose to use a pork tenderloin, you will not have to cook it as long, since it will be thinner.
