Description

This tender and flavorful pork loin is infused with the sweet and tangy flavors of Coca-Cola, paired with Southern-style spices. Perfect for a family dinner or a holiday feast, this recipe delivers a juicy roast with a caramelized glaze.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 lbs (1.4 kg) pork loin
  • 1 can (12 oz/355 ml) Coca-Cola (not diet)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) ketchup
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for searing)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Pork Loin:
    Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels. Season it all over with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
  • Sear the Pork:
    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until browned, about 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer the pork loin to a roasting pan or baking dish.
  • Make the Sauce:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the Coca-Cola, ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, and onion powder.
  • Cook the Pork Loin:
    Pour half of the Coca-Cola sauce over the pork loin in the roasting pan, reserving the other half for glazing. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.
  • Bake:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the pork loin for 45 minutes, basting every 15 minutes with the sauce from the pan.
  • Glaze and Finish:
    After 45 minutes, remove the foil. Pour the reserved Coca-Cola sauce over the pork and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Continue baking for an additional 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) and the glaze is caramelized.
  • Rest and Serve:
    Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the pan juices drizzled over the top.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the pork loin in the Coca-Cola sauce for 4–6 hours before cooking.
  • Pair with Southern sides like mashed potatoes, collard greens, or cornbread for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
