Braising is a cooking method that involves simmering food in a flavorful liquid until it is tender and juicy. Boneless pork loin is a perfect cut of meat for braising, as it becomes incredibly tender and full of flavor when cooked low and slow. This recipe will result in a mouthwatering dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
Ingredients:
– 2 pounds boneless pork loin
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 onion, sliced
– 4 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1/2 cup dry white wine
– 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
– 2 tablespoons honey
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh herbs for garnish (such as parsley or thyme)
Instructions:
1. Season the pork loin with salt and pepper on all sides.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
3. Remove the pork loin from the skillet and set aside. Add the sliced onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Deglaze the skillet with the chicken broth and white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
5. Stir in the Dijon mustard and honey, then return the pork loin to the skillet. Bring the liquid to a simmer.
6. Cover the skillet and place it in a preheated 325°F oven. Braise the pork loin for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until it is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
7. Remove the pork loin from the skillet and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced pork loin with the braising liquid spooned over the top, and garnish with fresh herbs.
