Recipe Overview
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25–35 minutes
Total Time: ~40 minutes
Servings: 4–6
Ingredients
1½–2 pound pork loin roast
3 tablespoons Basil Infused Olive Oil
¼ cup Strawberry White Balsamic Vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¾ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
• Pat the pork dry thoroughly and season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
• Preheat grill or oven to 400°F. Brush the pork generously with Basil Infused Olive Oil.
• Cook 25–35 minutes, turning occasionally if grilling, until the internal temperature reaches 140–145°F.
• Remove from heat and let rest 10 minutes before slicing to retain juices.
• Meanwhile, simmer Strawberry White Balsamic for 1–2 minutes until slightly reduced and glossy.
• Slice pork and drizzle lightly with the strawberry balsamic glaze before serving.
Chef’s Tip
Don’t over-reduce the balsamic — keeping it light preserves the fresh, fruit-forward character that balances the richness of the pork.
Flavor Variations
• Strawberry White Balsamic — bright and lightly sweet original profile
• Peach White Balsamic — softer, rounder sweetness
• Pear White Balsamic — deeper, more subtle balance
Pairings
Serve with grilled corn, roasted potatoes, green beans, or a fresh tomato salad to complement the bright finish.
Recipe Notes
Basil Infused Olive Oil adds fresh herbal lift while fruit-forward white balsamic provides a clean glaze that keeps the pork balanced rather than heavy.
