Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake a juicy loin? First, prepare all the ingredients. Pork loin or back of the carcass is the main one. Therefore, its quality should be given more attention. It is better that it is as fresh as possible, a delicate pink color. If necessary, defrost the meat in advance in any way familiar to you.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the pork thoroughly under running water and dry with a paper towel. If there is a layer of fat on it, like mine, make cuts on it — this is necessary so that the meat is better saturated with spices.

Step 3

Step 3
For spices, I took paprika, ground black and red pepper. You can use spices like I did, or use your favorites. Place the spices in a separate bowl.

Step 4

Step 4
Add salt to them and stir.

Step 5

Step 5
Rub the loin well with the dry spice mixture on all sides. Apply thicker, especially on the fat layer.

Step 6

Step 6
Place the meat on a sheet of foil, folded in half, shiny side up.

Step 7

Step 7
Cover the meat with garlic slices evenly on all sides. It is not necessary to make cuts — chopped garlic sticks well to the meat surface.

Step 8

Step 8
Wrap the loin in foil so that there are no gaps left, otherwise the meat runs the risk of being dry. Leave the meat to marinate in the cold for at least 2-3 hours. If you are pressed for time, leave it in a warm place for an hour, this will marinate faster. You can also marinate the meat the night before and bake it in the morning. Read all the intricacies of using aluminum foil in the article at the end of this recipe.

Step 9

Step 9
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Roast the meat for about one hour. Determine the exact time based on your oven — it may take you more or less time. Do not leave the stove for a long time, check the meat periodically. To avoid mistakes, use the advice in the article on the operation of ovens. The link is at the end of the recipe.

Step 10

Step 10
5-10 minutes before the end of baking, you can unroll the foil so that the loin is covered with a golden brown crust. I didnʼt do this. Check the readiness of the loin with a wooden toothpick — the juice should be clear. Itʼs already delicious hot, but itʼll taste even better when it cools completely!

Step 11

Step 11
Thinly slice the pork loin and enjoy. Bon appetit!
