Elaboración paso a paso
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients for the marinade
- Peel the garlic cloves and crush them in a mortar with a pinch of salt until you achieve a paste. Set aside. Also crush the peppercorns.
Step 2: Mix the marinade
- In a deep tray or container, combine the sour and sweet orange juices, white wine, thyme, bay leaf, cumin, crushed garlic, salt, and olive oil. Mix well.
Step 3: Prepare the pork loin
- Puncture the pork loin with a sharp knife to allow the marinade to penetrate better. Rub the marinade over the meat with your fingers to ensure it is fully coated.
Step 4: Let it marinate
- Place the pork loin in the container with the marinade, cover it with plastic wrap, or use a plastic bag to ensure the marinade covers it completely. Refrigerate overnight or, if short on time, at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Step 5: Sear the pork loin
- Remove the pork loin from the refrigerator and pat it dry slightly. In a non-stick frying pan, sear the meat over medium-high heat until all sides are golden.
Step 6: Bake the pork loin
- Preheat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F). Place the pork loin on a baking tray, cover it with aluminum foil, and cook for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 63 °C (145 °F). Use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loin to check.
Step 7: Rest and serve
- Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with potatoes, vegetables, rice, fried root vegetables, or any side dish of your choice.
