Ingredients

2 pounds pork loin
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons hot sauce (optional)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried red chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Use clean paper towels to pat the pork loin dry. Season the loin with salt and pepper.
Add the olive oil to an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, set the pork loin in the pan and sear it on all sides until browned. This should take about 2 minutes per side. Once seared, turn off the heat and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast the pork for 30 minutes.
In the meantime, whisk together the remaining ingredients and set aside.
At the 30-minute mark, remove the pork from the oven and spoon the sauce mixture over top. Return the pork to the oven for 30 more minutes, basting once at the 20 minute mark.
Remove from oven. Check to see that the internal temperature of the pork is at least 145 degrees F. Allow pork to rest, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
