How To Make Easy Pork Loin Roast cooked with the most incredible Honey Garlic Butter Sauce! Oven and slow cooker methods included for an easy dinner idea.
This Pork Loin recipe is simple to throw together and impressive enough to feed your guests. Whether you choose a crock pot OR your oven, this ‘no-stress’ recipe will give you the most incredible roast ready and on the table in no time!
Inspired by our amazingHoney Garlic Butter Pork Chops, our pork loin recipe is another easy dinner recipe to rock your world.
PORK LOIN RECIPE
Skinless and boneless pork loin NEEDS a good sauce, being that itis a lean cut of meat. Cooking it in a deep flavouredHoney Garlic Butter Sauce is PERFECT and gives you the ideal sauce to serve it with!
Apart from the tender pork meat, the sauce is truly memorable — a dinner that you will be thinking about long after leftovers have disappeared.
Make sure you get a good quality cut of Pork Loin for this recipe. Not to be confused with pork tenderloin,pork loinis a thicker and wider cut usually found with a fatty layer on top. Pork Tenderloin is long and a lot thinner (see this recipe here for reference).
HOW LONG DO YOU COOK A PORK LOIN ROAST
This pork loin recipe needs three steps before giving you an incredible tasting pork:
- SEASON: Seasoned in a delicious rub with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, optional red chili powder and brown sugar for caramelization. Pat meat dry with paper towel first so that the seasoning sticks and absorbs better.
- SEAR:Where theDEEP flavour begins.
- COOK!
Slow cooking pork loin in a crock pot at a low temperature is perfect and isn’t going to dry out or ruin your pork.
2 pounds (1 kg): 3 1/2 hours on low
3-5 pounds (1 1/2 – 2 1/2 kg): 4-5 hours on low
6 pounds (3kg): 6 hours on low
Oven roastpork loincovered for the first half hour which results in steaming/braising the meat. Then roast uncovered to get some beautiful charred/caramelized edges thanks to the brown sugar in the rub and the honey in the sauce.
SAUCE
Made with mouthwatering pan juices left in the slow cooker or baking pan when its done. This pork recipe creates its own stock while cooking, mixing through the honey garlic sauce to create some magnificent flavours.
Honey, unsalted butter, low sodium soy sauce, rice wine vinegar (or cider vinegar), and a good kick of garlic is all you need. I use low sodium to control the end result.
This recipe makes SO MUCH SAUCE to drizzle all over rice, noodles, veggies and potatoes.
WHAT INTERNAL TEMPERATURE SHOULD PORK LOIN BE COOKED?
The National Pork Board recommends cooking pork loin, chops, roasts and tenderloin to an internal temperature of 145° F (62°C), followed by a 15-minute rest.
HOW TO MAKE PORK LOIN AHEAD OF TIME
Pork and sauce can be prepared up to 1 day ahead:
- Pour sauce over seared/browned pork (store in your slow cooker bowl, baking pan or a large, shallow dish).
- Cover and refrigerate for up to 12 hours.
- If preparing more than 12 hours ahead, keep the sauce in separate dish.
- Slow cook or roast as per recipe.
LEFTOVERS
Refrigerate with the sauce for up to 3 days, or freeze for 3 months. The sauce soaks through the pork while stored and tastes even better the next day!

ADDITIONAL:
- 1/2 cup low sodium beef or chicken stock/broth, (FOR OVEN METHOD ONLY)
- 1/2 cup water (FOR OVEN METHOD ONLY)
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch (cornflour)
Instructions
PORK LOIN:
Pat dry pork with paper towel. Combine 1 tablespoon of oil with rub ingredients. Season pork, rubbing the mixture into the meat.
Heat remaining oil (about 2 teaspoons) in a large pan or skillet over medium heat. Sear pork all over until golden browned, rotating the pork around to avoid spices burning.
SAUCE:
Melt butter in the same pan the pork was in while scraping up any leftover bits in the pan. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in remaining sauce ingredients; bring to a rapid simmer for 1 minute.
SLOW COOK:
Place seared pork in a 6-qt (litre) slow cooker. Pour sauce over pork; cover with lid and cook on LOW heat setting for 4 - 5 hours.
Transfer pork onto serving dish and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 10-15 minutes.
While pork is resting: pour juices from the slow cooker bowl into a pot large enough to fit the liquid. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Mix 2 tablespoons of the juices with 4 teaspoons of cornstarch (cornflour). Whisk cornstach slurry into sauce and let simmer for a good 5 minutes, or until thickend into a syrup-like consistency.
(For a thicker sauce, repeat this step with 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water. Add into sauce and cook until thickened (please note: saucewill thicken as it cools). Continue this step until reaching your desired consistency.)
Slice pork and serve drizzled with Honey Garlic Butter Sauce.
OVEN ROAST:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place seared/browned seasoned pork in a roasting pan.
Prepare sauce, as above. Reserve 1/2 cup sauce for basting. Pour remaining sauce over pork.
Pour 1/2 cup stock and 1/2 cup water around the pork.
Cover and roast for 20 minutes. Baste with half of the reserved sauce and continue roasting, uncovered, for a further 15 minutes.
Baste again and roast for a further 10-15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 145°F (62.5°C) in the thickest part.
(If pan dries out while cooking (it shouldn't), add a little more water.)
Transfer pork onto serving plate and baste with pan juices. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 10-15 minutes..
Scrape up any browned bits leftover in the pan, mixing them through the pan juices and pour juices into a pot. Whisk cornstarch into an additional 1/2 cup water, whisk cornstarch slurry into the sauce and bring to a simmer. Slowly add in 1/4 cup - 1/2 cup additional, if needed, until reaching a honey-like consistency. (Please note: saucewill thicken as it cools).
Slice pork and drizzle with Honey Garlic Butter Sauce.
Notes
Use skinless, boneless pork, trimmed of excess fat to avoid fat melting into our braising liquid/sauce.

This was fantastic!!!!! Will definitely be added to the list of standing recipes in my kitchen.Reply
Jon says
Very good recipe. The only issue I had was the cooking time was much shorter in my case probably due to the crockpot I find this method destroys food but it just might be my pot. After 3 1/2 hours my 3.5 lb pork loin was over 200* double checked the temp setting being “low”. Roast was still good still good. Served with garlic smashed red potatoes. The crockpot is not my friend.Reply

I just made this recipe and it is the best pork loin I have ever made! I followed the directions exactly as written and read all of the tips, thank you. It’s perfect. I’m making a lot mein stir fry to go with itReply
Elle says
Broke the #1 rule of having guests over- don’t try a new recipe. Just don’t. Well I did, and it was fab! Had to switch up some ingredients, like maple syrup instead of honey, balsamic instead of cider vinegar, and red wine, because wine. Soooooooo good! I’m always nervous about drying out pork loin. This was most,and the sauce was dee- licious! Can’t wait to make it again.Reply
Christopher Davis says
Easy and Amazing!! Thank you.Reply
maz says
I made this tonight and it was delicious. Sauce very rich so not a lot needed. Left overs will be frozen. The meat turned out to perfection. Thank youReply
Amber says
I made this with a 3.3 lb pork loin but used the same amount of ingredients as the 4-5 lb recipe so there was plenty of sauce (I’m a big sauce person). The oven cook times were still accurate. The pork was so juicy and tender and the sauce was amazing over it, rice, and sautéed mushrooms and spinach. I wouldn’t change a thing! My wife and I loved it! Thank you so much!Reply
Mary Jane says
Awesome my husband is tough to cook for ,he went nuts over this. Next time I will make it with chicken tendors.Reply
Laura says
10/10 Delicious recipe! My husband raved over this and said it was restaurant quality! It will be added to our collection. I love recipes with simple ingredients I have on hand but yield amazing results. I served with mashed potatoes and it was perfect! Thank you!Reply
Jules says
I’m one for not using a lot of pans so I made this all in a cast iron skillet. I didn’t quite understand the oven directions so I winged it and it came out great. There was still a lot of liquid when the roast came out of the oven. I just pulled the roast off and tented it. Cooked the liquid left in the skillet and added a small amount of cornstarch and water slurry to it. The roast came out perfect. And the sauce was very tasty. Will definitely make this again.Reply
Debra says
Best pork roast I have ever made family agreed. This is a keeper, hope I can replicate !Thank you ! Easy to follow recipe too!Reply
Rebecca says
I never leave comments on on-line recipes, but I had to for this one. I have three kids. One is, I believe, the world’s pickiest eater. I made this recipe, as described, and it was DELICIOUS. ALL THREE kids ate it! My picky eater said, “I don’t exactly like it, but it’s not terrible.” Which is literally the best thing he’s said about food that wasn’t a dino chicken nugget in years. And he ate all four bites I put on his plate. Amazing! I highly recommend this recipe and will definitely be making it again in a larger quantity!Reply
Dale Hamakawa says
The rub and the sauce are the best parts. Doubled the sauce cause I like sauce and was glad I did. Glad you had a oven option. Followed the instructions and the pork loin was still juicy. Shared this recipes with friends and they all love it.Reply
Anna Carlson says
Great recipe!
The rub was perfect. I cooked the roast in a Dutch oven. I adjusted the sauce a bit, eliminating the butter (too rich for me), reduced the honey to a hefty squeeze and left out the soy sauce (accidental!) and used ACV instead of rice vinegar. Since I roasted it with the top on I didn’t bother reserving liquid for basting, just put it all in. I also added a huge bunch of collard greens in the dutch oven and it came out so good! My mouth is watering just thinking of it. I also didn’t thicken the sauce, it was really good as is!Reply
Crystal Benz says
Excellent! Made exactly to directions and it was perfect.Reply
Lenora Sikes says
Cooked this up for lunch today. My husband claimed the whole roast for himself after tasting it. I made him share with everyone in our household. Everyone loved it. I left the chili pepper out, along with the corn starch and stock broth. My mind registered these as optional not Additional. It came out soft, moist, tender and delicious.Reply
Sally says
Made this for dinner tonight. Delicious, even though I didn’t have quite enough honey.Reply
Jacquelin Thompson says
This was an excellent recipe. Even my picky husband loved it. It will be going the internet cookbookReply
Danielle says
I just finished putting it in the slow cooker and accidentally put in the 1/2 cup of stock in the sauce. I didn’t put it the water or cornstarch because I figured out my mistake just as I had thrown in the stock. I’m guessing it won’t hurt too much but I’m bummed I didn’t get it right for my first try with this recipe after reading all the glowing reviews. The smell of the sauce alone has me itching for dinner time!!

Delicious! The sauce is SO flavorful!Reply
Tricia says
I never comment on recipes, but I had to make an exception with this one. I haven’t made a pork loin in years because I was never a fan of them growing up. Your recipe has changed that for me. After looking at a few recipes online, I chose this one because of its 5-star ratings and because it made a lot of sauce – something that appealed to me (I love sauces on almost everything lol). The sauce was fantastic and most importantly, my husband loved it. He loves pork loin, and I’m happy to find a recipe for it that we can both enjoy. He will never eat pork as leftovers, but he said he was going to have the leftovers for lunch tomorrow – a first for him! Thank you -I look forward to trying more of your recipes.Reply
Renee says
This is incredibly delicious. The perfect Sunday dinner. The gravy is to die for and the meat is so moist. I will be bookmarking this for use again!Reply
Megan A says
Made this tonight for dinner and it was a hit! Restaurant quality! I used the oven method. The pork was juicy and perfectly cooked, and the pan sauce was simply to die for. I could’ve eaten it with a spoon! Followed the recipe exactly (I used a leave-in meat thermometer, so my timing may not have been exact) and I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Simply delicious! Thanks for the recipe!Reply

This was excellent as is. I usually enhance recipes, but this did not need it. Loved the sauce!Reply

I made this port roast over the holidays and my feedback is similar to the reviews. Its the best roast pork that I have ever cooked. I did not have honey on hand so I had to substitute with maple syrup. The meat was moist, the flavors were just right and the family raved about it. More importantly it allowed us time to play with our grandchildren while it was in the slow cooker! Thank you for this wonderful recipe, I know that I will make good use for future dinners.Reply

The flavor of this is
THE BEST!! I love the sweet flavor, so I added 2 tbsp of honey. & I love Erik Johnson’s suggestion of marinating the meat overnight in plastic wrap. I’ll definitely try that next time. Thank you for the yummiest dinner this yrp!!Reply
Jenny says
I am the worst in cooking pork tenderloin. I had a 5lb loin. I came across your recipe. I did it. Wow, I went across my kitchen saying I’m a great cook. thank you – I’ll be using your recipe from now on. My daughter wants this for Christmas dinner lolReply
Sandra Miller says
Made this yesterday for a holiday gathering and everyone loved it!! I used only half smoked paprika cause I’m not a huge fan of the smoke flavor and half regular Spanish paprika. I had tenderloins in the fridge, so used them in the slow cooker. Substituted red pepper flakes for chili powder at the lower amount which added a great kick but not too much. Took only a few hours in the cooker on high and the sauce was wonderful.Reply
Rebekah says
I’ve never made pork anything before (I was a vegetarian for 20 years). I made this for my family and they went nuts. My husband is a bbq master and I surprised him with this — he said it’s absolutely the best tenderloin he’s ever had! Thank you!Reply

This was terrific. I used the oven to make it and the cooking time was a bit more than an hour. We loved the sauce. The recipe is a keeper. I baked sweet potatoes in the oven with this and it made a great side for the meal.Reply

That sauce is amazingly delicious. Glad I made extra – now have some to pour on other dishes. I will definitely make again. We had with a green salad and roasted half moon slices of delicata squash.Reply

It was very good, my daughter says this is one of the best sauces with pork she has had (its a keeper, in other words!). However, I can’t but help wonder how it might be enhanced by the addition of fresh ginger, and in what proportions?Reply

Pete Bowyer says
This was a fantastic roast dinner considering it wasn’t tenderloin. I only had half the roast size so I cut back on the rub but probably should have kept it the same.
I had a serious brain-fart moment and blended both the sauce mix and the additional liquids and corn starch all at the same time, so the various bastings were directly from the pan.
My wife said it was the best pork roast we’ve had in a long time .. I agreed.
This is going into my regular recipes list.
Thanks for this recipe.Reply
Jackie says
I didn’t have time to cook in a slow cooker so I baked mine and it was delicious. I didn’t have honey so used pure maple syrup instead. I also cut back on garlic in the sauce and didn’t thicken the sauce. I would make it again the same way. Super easy recipe.

Just finished dinner. This pork loin recipe is great. My other half, who almost never eats gravy, covered his pork with it. That says a lot! Used the crock pot, which made it very east to make. I was unsure about the honey (normally don’t care for sweet meat), but trusted you and it was delicious! I also have to tell you I have never tried anything from your website that wasn’t absolutely delicious.Reply
Margo says
I have tried many different recipes from different blogs – but this is the first time I have ever written a comment. This is SO good, I had to leave a comment. I left out the chili powder (not our favorite spice). The pork was so tender (was like eating a pork tenderloin) and flavorful. I cooked mine in the oven, after the 2nd basting, I put my meat thermometer in, it was perfect. I can’t wait to cook it again.Thank you so much for sharing it.Reply

I only have tenderloins in my freezer , will it make a difference if I use those in place of the loin ? I prefer them as they are much more tender .
Reply
Sandy Vanlancker says
I’m going to guess that tenderloins will work, but adjust your cooking times as they are smaller and will cook faster. This sauce may make them mushy though? Because they are sooo tender to begin with. Let us know?

Never did a pork loin in the slow cooker before. This turned out great (although next time we will pre-sear the loin a little more than we did……I guess we were afraid of over cooking. Just go ahead and give this a really good sear).The sauce was OUTRAGEOUSLY GOOD. Definitely a keeper!

I struggle with using honey in any recipe but I’m always willing to try a new challenge. By the way. Your chocolate pumpkin cheesecake was amazing at Thanksgiving. So many compliments.Reply
