**Sunday Brunch Pork**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 lbs pork loin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch slices
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by greasing it lightly with oil.
2. Season both sides of the pork slices with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Sear the pork slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the pork from the skillet and place them in the prepared baking dish.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic, thyme, and paprika to make the sauce.
5. Pour the sauce over the seared pork slices, making sure each piece is generously coated.
6. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
7. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and baste the pork with the sauce from the pan. Continue baking uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the pork is cooked through and the sauce has thickened and caramelized.
8. Once done, remove the baking dish from the oven and let the pork rest for a few minutes before serving.
9. Serve the Sunday Brunch Pork slices drizzled with the remaining sauce from the pan. This dish pairs perfectly with roasted potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
