I made this for Memorial Day, and it disappeared. The meat is moist and melt-in-your-mouth tender. This roast does fine in a cast iron skillet browned on top of the stove and finished in the oven.

The grilling process for this pork loin enhances the flavors and gives the pork a delicious smokiness. Combining thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard, and cumin for the rub adds flavor and infuses into the meat. Once grilled, this pork loin is savory and tangy and smells wonderful.

How To Make pork loin with balsamic mustard rub

Test Kitchen Tips

We heated our gas grill to 350 degrees F and seared each side for 5 minutes. Then, turned off 2 burners, covered the pork loin in foil, and continued to cook until the pork reached 165F (about 30 minutes).

1
Mix the vinegar, oil, mustard, and spices.

2
Preheat the grill. Rub the spice mixture all over the roast. Pour whatever is left on the roast and let it marinate for about 20 minutes or while the coals are getting hot.
3
When the coals are hot, sear the roast on each side for about 5 minutes.
4
Then put in indirect heat. Cover and roast for about 20 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 165 F.
5
Remove from the grill and let rest a few minutes before cutting.
6
If you are going to be doing this indoors, then heat an iron skillet on the stovetop. Brown all sides of the roast. Then put it in the oven for the rest of the time, about 20 minutes.
