Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup Coca-Cola
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp dry mustard
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp crushed thyme

  • 2 tbsp butter for sauce
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar for sauce

  • Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Place the pork loin in a resealable bag, pour the marinade over it, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, turning occasionally.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Remove the pork loin from the marinade and pat dry. Place on a roasting rack in a pan, fat side up.
