Pork Loin with Ketchup and Onion Marmalade
- 1 (2 1/2 to 3-pound) pork loin
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
- 1 large red onion, sliced
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the pork: Rinse pork loin to remove residue and pat dry with paper towels.
- Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat grapeseed oil over medium-high heat in an oven safe pan, preferably with a lid.
- Sear pork loin on all sides, leaving each side undisturbed for the first few minutes before turning, to allow the seasonings to integrate into the surface of the meat.
- Cover the pan and transfer to the oven.
- Roast, covered, until fork tender, about 1 1/2 hours, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
- Remove cover and increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F for about 10 minutes to allow outside of roast to brown.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest and carryover cook to 170 degrees F. Slice.
- For the marmalade: While the pork is in the oven, make the marmalade.
- Heat grapeseed oil over medium heat in a small skillet.
- Add onion and reduce heat to low.
- Allow to slowly caramelize, about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Stir in ketchup and salt and pepper, to taste, and allow to cook for another 10 minutes to reduce and thicken.
- Add additional oil before serving if the marmalade looks too pasty.
- Serve marmalade over sliced pork.
