Recipe Summary Pan-Roasted 5-Spice Pork Loin

This pan-roasted pork loin uses lots of spices and an Asian-inspired marinade for a truly flavorful cut of meat. And it's perfect to use for a Vietnamese bahn mi sandwich!

Ingredients | Allspice Substitute 5 Spice

1 (2 pound) boneless pork loin roast, trimmed of fat

¼ cup rice vinegar

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 teaspoons sriracha hot sauce, or to taste

1 teaspoon fine sea salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder

1 tablespoon vegetable oil for pan roasting

Directions

Place the roast on its side and split in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Make shallow slashes in a diamond pattern on both sides of each piece. Transfer halves to a flat dish.

Whisk rice vinegar, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, salt, pepper, and Chinese 5-spice powder together in a bowl. Pour sauce over the meat; turn each piece over several times to thoroughly coat. Let meat marinate for about 30 minutes at room temperature. (Or transfer to a zip top bag and refrigerate for 3 or 4 hours.)

Heat a heavy cast iron skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Brown meat on each side, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Transfer to a plate to rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.

You can brush the meat with marinade while it's cooking, but stop basting before the meat has fully cooked. Do not drizzle marinade on finished meat.
