2. While that’s heating up, prep your pork roast by seasoning it with salt and pepper, to your heart’s desire.
3. Next, heat up the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear each side of the pork roast until golden brown (usually 3-4 minutes on each side will do).
4. In a small bowl, mix together your honey, soy sauce, and garlic. Once those three join forces, pour it over your seared pork roast.
5. Finally, pop it into the oven for about 40-45 minutes. Remember to baste that beautiful pork loin every so often with the honey garlic sauce. Your pork loin is done once the inside hits a cool 145 degrees.
