Equipment

  • large cast iron skillet
  • cutting board
  • chef's knife
  • measuring spoons
  • glass measuring cup
  • meat thermometer

Ingredients

  • 2½-3 lb boneless pork loin
  • 2 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 2½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 1 large yellow onion, quartered
  • 1 large honey crisp apple, cut into large chunks
  • 1 head garlic, halved lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat and add the avocado oil.
  • Liberally season the pork loin with the kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Sear the pork on all sides until browned - about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Once the searing is complete, remove the skillet from the heat and place it on a plate.
  • Carefully add the onions, garlic, apples to the skillet. The idea here is create a bed for the pork loin to sit on. The garlic goes cut side down with the apples and onions.
  • Return the pork loin to the skillet and gently place it onto its apple/onion/garlic bed. In small mixing bowl or cup, mix together the ground sage, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup. Drizzle this over the pork loin.
  • Place the skillet into a preheated 375° oven for approximately 25-30 minutes. Carefully, add in the halved Brussels sprouts, evenly distributing them around the pork loin, apples, and onion.
  • Continue roasting for an additional 20-25 minutes, pulling it from the oven when the meat reaches 135°F-140°F.
  • Tent the pork with foil and let it rest until the final temperature is 145°F.
  • Slice the pork, drizzle the pan sauce, and enjoy!

Notes

The roasted garlic cloves will be very caramelized and wonderful at the end of the roasting period. I suggest smashing them into the pan sauce.
