A delicious and flavorful Chinese-inspired pork dish, perfect for a family dinner.
Combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even flavor distribution.
Place the pork loin in the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Marinating overnight enhances the flavor penetration into the pork.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Transfer the pork and marinade into a baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture during the initial cooking phase.
Remove the foil, stir the marinade, and continue baking uncovered for an additional 40 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the marinade has thickened.
Stirring the marinade ensures even glazing on the pork.
Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your choice of sides.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the pork more tender.
