Preparation Steps
1
Remove the pork loin from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
2
In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and brown sugar. This will be your dry rub.
3
Rub the pork loin with olive oil, then evenly coat it with the dry rub mixture. Press the rub into the meat to help it adhere.
4
Preheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 350°F/180°C). If using an oven, preheat it to 400°F (200°C) on convection setting.
5
Place the pork loin on the grill or a baking rack and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until evenly cooked.
6
In a small saucepan, combine the honey, mustard, and BBQ sauce. This will be the glaze for the pork loin.
7
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, begin basting the meat with the honey glaze. Coat all sides to create a beautiful, glossy finish.
8
Remove the pork loin from the grill or oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
