SERVES: 8

COOK TIME: 7 Hr

If you love traditional German recipes, you need to try our Bavarian Roast Pork! This roast recipe is perfect for when you're craving a hot, hearty, and completely satisfying dinner experience. A touch of sweet honey, combined with delicious beer 'n' brat mustard, ladled over juicy pork, makes this a German classic that has stood the test of time.

What You'll Need

1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup mustard (see Tip)
1/2 cup honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 cups beer
1 (3-1/2- to 4-pound) boneless pork loin
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

What to Do

In a medium bowl, combine onion, mustard, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper; mix well. Stir in beer. Place pork in a large resealable plastic bag. Add marinade mixture, seal bag, and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
When ready to roast, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Pour marinade into a saucepan and set aside.
In a large skillet over high heat, heat oil until hot; brown pork on all sides. Place pork in baking dish. Roast 50 to 60 minutes or until internal temperature is 150 degrees F.
Meanwhile, to make a honey mustard sauce, bring marinade to a boil over medium heat for 5 minutes or until it thickens, stirring occasionally. Carve pork into 1/2-inch slices and drizzle with sauce.

Mr. Food Test Kitchen Tip:

When it comes to the mustard, we tested this with a Beer and Brat Mustard, but you can use a stone ground or Dijon mustard, if you prefer. Also, if you would like to serve this with our homemade spaetzle like we did, you can find here.

I cooked the sauce even longer than suggested and it does not thicken, too much beer?

what is best to use instead of beer?

Use a non-alcoholic beer. You need the flavor of the beer hops to get the right flavor for the recipe. By the time the roast cooks you boil down the sauce to thicken it, the trace of alcohol in the NA beer will be effectively cooked off. Otherwise, sub in chicken broth some brewing hops added like an herb. But, the flavor will not be the same.
