Let’s dive into how to prepare this delightful Maple Syrup Pork Glaze!
Ingredients:
– 1/2 cup maple syrup
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme until well combined. This mixture will create a flavorful glaze for your pork.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure the skillet is large enough to fit the pork cut you will be glazing.
3. Place your pork cut into the heated skillet, whether it’s pork tenderloin, chops, or any other cut you prefer. Sear the pork on all sides until browned, which will help seal in the juices and flavors.
4. Lower the heat to medium and pour the maple syrup glaze over the pork in the skillet. Use a brush or spoon to coat the pork generously with the glaze, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
5. Let the pork cook in the glaze for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Flip the pork occasionally and continue to baste with the glaze from the skillet.
6. Cook the pork until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Make sure to keep an eye on the glaze and adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
7. Once the pork is cooked to perfection and the glaze has caramelized beautifully on the outside, remove the skillet from the heat.
8. Transfer the glazed pork to a cutting board or serving plate. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing to let the juices redistribute for a tender and flavorful bite.
Serve your Maple Syrup Pork Glaze alongside your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. The combination of the sweet maple syrup with the savory spices will make this dish a standout at any meal. Enjoy the wonderful aroma that fills your kitchen as the glaze caramelizes, and savor each delicious bite of this delectable pork creation.
