Burgundy Mustard-Marinated Pork

By ginnylee_60

The mustardy marinade does double duty in this recipe: part of it is brushed on the pork to flavor it before cooking. Then the remaining marinade is heated with a bit of cream to become a rich sauce for drizzling over the roasted pork.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup white wine
• 1 Tbs. firmly packed light brown sugar
• 3 Tbs. olive oil
• 1/2 cup Burgundy mustard
• 2 Tbs. chopped fresh rosemary
• 2 large garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 boneless pork loin roast, about 3 lb., tied
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup heavy cream

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together the wine, brown sugar, olive oil, mustard, rosemary and garlic. Brush the pork roast generously on all sides with some of the marinade. Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and set aside. Cover the pork with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.

Position a rack in the lower third of an oven and preheat to 475°F.

Scrape the excess marinade off the pork and add the marinade to the saucepan. Place the pork in a 4-quart wide Dutch oven. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 145°F for medium, 30 to 40 minutes more.

Transfer the pork to a carving board, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes.

Place the saucepan with the reserved marinade over medium-high heat, add the cream and boil until the sauce is reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and transfer the sauce to a sauceboat. Cut the pork into slices and arrange on a warmed platter. Pass the sauce alongside. Serves 6 to 8.
