Coca-Cola Pork Loin Ingredients
  • 3 lb pork loin roast center-cut (1.36kg)
  • 2 cups Coca-Cola Classic 473ml, do not use diet
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 100g, packed
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce 60ml
  • 1 lb baby carrots 454g, whole
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil 15ml, for searing
  • 1 tsp garlic powder 5g
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Oven-Safe Skillet or Dutch Oven Used for searing and roasting
  • 1 Instant-read meat thermometer To ensure internal temp reaches 145°F
  • 1 Small Whisk For mixing the glaze

Method
 

Prepare and Sear
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the pork loin dry and season with salt and garlic powder.
  2. Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet. Sear pork for 3-4 minutes per side until a deep golden-brown crust forms.
Glaze and Roast
  1. Whisk Coca-Cola, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Pour into the skillet, scraping the bottom for flavor.
  2. Add carrots to the pan. Baste the pork. Roast in the oven for 45-60 minutes, basting every 15 minutes until internal temp is 145°F (63°C).
Final Finish
  1. Remove pork and carrots. Let meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  2. Reduce pan juices on the stovetop until thick and syrupy. Pour over sliced meat and garnish with parsley and cracked pepper.
